All of these are from Looking Glass and Warren Spector, LOL :-) They have adventure-style puzzles, but that does not necessarily make them adventure games. Given the nature of flow through them, though, I would entertain arguments that they are, but please see my previous post outlining what defines an Adventure game before starting. Otherwise, they're Action, subgenres 1st-person, shooting, puzzle-solving. -- http://www.MobyGames.com/ The world's most comprehensive gaming database project. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.
