Top Ten Dying Game Genres

Ant sent us a fun link to an article running over at GameSpy discussing the Top 10 Dying Game Genres. Although I don't think Puzzle games have died - I think they've transformed: Pikmin is just a fancy puzzle game, after all ;) But I still want Dr Mario for my GBA.

adult games

Has anyone ever tried to play one of those adult games? They're probably the least entertaining of all but I imagine they will last quite a bit longer than most others. At least until every computer gamer has a girlfriend/hell freezes over.

Thank goodness...

Naked BMX racing games are alive and well!

I mean, who could say no to 3D Day of the Tentacle?

Isn't that hentai?

If so... I'll take it.

What would Dance Dance Revolution be classified under?

Based on a few people I've seen, I'd say "neuromuscular disorder"....

No game was ever better than Liesure Suit Larry: EGA pr0n with a plot! If only I had a 5.25" drive, I think I still have the disks for LSL3.

Prince of Persia was cool.

I loved the metal guillotine gates you had to jump through.

Man you would NOT want to have to get up in the middle of the night and go to the bathroom in that palace...
