I wasn't suggesting (or certainly didn't mean to suggest) that there weren't kids playing adventure games in the 80's, I was suggesting that, at least in the USA, such kids made up a small minority of the American adventure game marketplace. This fact is commonly overlooked in this forum whenever there are age-related marketing issues discussed, and I feel it appropriate to point it out from time to time to give a wider "historical" perspective. This seemed like one of those times. I had no intention of starting a flamewar. I didn't expected the Spanish Inquisition.
