Graphic Advventure - Dying Game Genre?

Hoya!

I agree with you.

I DO believe that fecking 3D killed video games. Nowadays people are so brainwashed by flashy 3D graphics that they are always wating for the latest texture instead of really focusing on the ACTUAL interest of the game.
Just have a look at today's games:
-Car races.
-Doom clones.
-Tomb Raider clones.
That's all.
Really lame, isn't it?

/me misses good ol' 80's arcade games...

Well, I have never actually owned a C64, I was (and still am) an Amstrad CPC freak.
But it is no problem since almost every game was released on several platforms :-)

The CPC version of Bruce Lee was... AWFUL! The graphics were horrible and the gameplay was lame too! :-)

Well, those games you mention were not new genre of games. They have just been "enhanced" by 3D.
We had 3D adventures like Dungeon Master, Eye of the Beholder.
µWe had Dune 2.
We had Space Crusade.
:-P

Lol!
If I want "oldskool action" I WON'T pick up a Dreamcast.
Putting 3D everywhere is NOT oldskool!
If I want to get oldskool, I use an Amstrad CPC or MAME or I turn on my trustworthy Ammy! :-)

Believe it or not but lots of game genres are dead now BECAUSE of fecking consoles, peecees and 3D!!!
Shoot 'em up anyone?

And YES, I played GigaWing 2 on DC...
ROTFL!!!!!!!
To me, it was a turn painted in gold!
Beautiful graphics and music.
Gameplay: 0%.
Maniability: 0%.
Difficulty: 100%!
Result: impossible to be played properly!
Moreover, the DC is a 3D thing, NOT a bitmap master! Whenever there were too many bullets on screen, it slowed down incredibly...
ROTFL :-P

Gimme Battle Squadron, Project X, R-Type, Disposable Hero...

Be funky!
