Greetings, fellow Adventurers and/or Wikipedia addicts. For those who don't already know, I suppose the title says it all, doesn't it?
For those who do know...Er...Cool, huh?

As the new meat, I figure I should at least PRETEND like I'm part of the group. As such, my first attempt at initiating a discussion:

As with many of you, I've been an adventure fan from days long past, particularly of the Big Dogs in the Sierra/LucasArts kennel as a lad. In fact, if memory serves, my first exposure was: "Police Quest: In Persuit of the Death Angel" (original) on my cousin's old IBM Frankenputer. Also, like many of you, I can definitely concur that it's been a bad decade for us Adventure-seekers in terms of selection, with very few choices, and even fewer GOOD ones within those.
That said, anyone care to opine or discuss some of the newer adventure blood that's been released in the past, oh, six years or so? Now, I'm not talking about the great homages we've come to love from places like Himalaya, AGDI, or Phoenix, I'm talking about the stuff that bears little resemblence to the classics, yet still falls into the category of AG.
Ex. Anyone ever play a Konami game c. 2001 called "Shadow of Destiny?" ("Shadow of Memories" in Europe and Japan) The interface surely wasn't what I was used to when it came to Adventure Gaming, and puzzle-solving of the classic variety was practically nonexistant, I still had a barrel of fun with it, my old Adventuring gland getting a workout after years of disuse; story wasn't bad either.

Before I ramble on any longer, I invite everyone to discuss at will.

Hey all; first time poster, longtime lurker. Just thought I'd come out of hiding to join the dance, as it were. As is par, allow me to stroke some egos by expressing my fanboyhood of your work, may your passion(s) for it never fade, and I'm sure that the best is yet to be.  And now that the formalities have been taken care of...Um, everyone just kind of go about your business... I'll be standing over here.
