WHAT? Ok, you're from US and only 27. I let that slip. But Point&Click-adventures aren't called point&click without a reason - they were using the mouse as main input in the golden times of LucasArts and Sierra adventures. A lot of gamers grew up with that. And talking about the golden times of adventures: Tim Schafer and Ron Gilbert are basically the golden times of adventures in person. |
I think he might've confused meanings of Adventure when talking about computer games and Adventure when talking about console games - back in days when you said Adventure, and you were primarily computer player (or journalist), you meant either Text or P&C Adventure (personally, I started as a kid on C64 with Hobbit in '82). On the other hand, if you were console oriented you were most likely talking about games that were, by todays clasification, action-adventures.
As Daniel Bloodworth recently said in IW, Cave is for instance game that's good in mixing Adventure and Adventure (that is, both meanings of the term).
