This simply isn't true. There are dozens of games released every year and particularly in the past 3 years and a healthy assortment and variety for at least the next two years (announced titles). Contrary to the gaming media, the genre never died. There was a dry spell around the year 2000 and for 2-3 years after this (the alleged death); however the genre has returned with a vengeance. Sales, particularly outside of the US, seem to be strong, and platforms like the Nintendo DS and perhaps the Wii are perfect for the the control scheme. There have been several traditional adventures published on the DS and more on the way (a port of Agatha Christie's And Then There None and of course the Phoenix Wright games come to mind).

Games like Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, and Gabriel Knight are my favorite. Every genre has its place to make gaming a richer experience. It's good to see someone filling that gap in video games in mass production today. Ok, this just sounds awesome. Games like Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, and Gabriel Knight are my favorite.
