Of course, it's arguable that you should instead be picking up budget versions of old LucasArts and Sierra games. However, the sad fact of the matter is that technology has advanced, and many younger people are blinkered as to the charms of these older games because they don't instantly look appealing. Which is why it's so important that the genre comes up with some 'killer' titles in the not-too-distant future.
