Dear Future Gamer,

When I read about FG in my copy of PC GAMER, I thought, "Hey, what a good idea!" Then I realised the mag was also about the N64 and PlayStation. I'm a purely PC chick myself and I don't mind console games, but they all seem to be the same.

I'm sick of platformers, RPGs, beat-'em-ups, driving games, etc, etc, ETC - why doesn't anyone care about adventure games any more? I feel like I'm the only person left who wants a game with an involved, entertaining plot that gets you thinking more about what to say to someone than how many different ways you can kill them. Half-Life and Quake have a place, but so do games like Blade Runner and Monkey Island. How about it, FG?

FG: We're a populist bunch here at FG, Sarah. We're certainly not biased against adventures - everyone in the world loves Monkey Island, after all - but we'd be unlikely to cover, say, Phantasmagoria 2, in the same way we passed on the Looney Tunes Animated Jigsaws CD: they're both narrowly appealing.

Also, neither of them are games. Arf.

Rest assured, if something adventurey comes up that's worth covering, we'll be on it before you can point. Or click.
