Where Have all the Adventure Games gone?

[Indoril Nerevar]

Loom was a great game, I remember playing it and Monkey Island on my old 486. Ah, good times...

In general, though, I found adventure games pretty bothersome. Most adventure games simply required such bizarre logic that I couldn't be bothered solving them on my own. I loved games like the Monkey Island series and such, but I always played with a walkthrough handy to get me through the toughest puzzles. It's a total waste of time when, in order to finish a game, you have to think exactly like the guy that designed it.

Monkey Island was quite wacky in its riddles at times. Especially the 2nd one where some of the riddles were just impossible to solve without the English version and being a native English speaker... The Indy series worked quite well without any walkthrough for me however.
