  1. Of a notable point: Ron Gilbert is the man behind the Monkey Island point and click adventure series, as well as some of Lucasarts' other point n clicks from the 80s-90s.

  3. By the way, there's a link on the article to Old Man Murray's site about adventure gamer logic which has a neat summary: "Who killed Adventure Games? I think it should be pretty clear at this point that Adventure Games committed suicide." You can find the article here: http://www.oldmanmurray.com/features/79.html
