In its 'golden age' the adventure game enjoyed the trappings of luxury - a rarified cult status, high level production, original content, and yes, even innovation. However; the playing field has changed, the game has not. Is a renaissance possible for this genre? |
What happened that caused the adventure game to slip into relative obscurity and be largely ignored by the media and the rest of the world? Maybe the games of other genres can give us a clue. |
Why are excellent titles like Grand Theft Auto and Half-Life 2 buzzwords on everyone's lips while another good title like Moment Of Silence is just that - silent? The publishers and marketers know the answer. Or do they? |
Not all hope is lost as adventure developers are steering the genre towards the future. We're starting to see signs of reliable conventions being refined, and outright innovation in concept and design. Beiddie ends the series on a very optimistic, yet realistically watchful note. |
