I guess it wasn't clear I was making a tongue-in-cheek comment. I thought that would help soften anything else I said.
I'm not even sure what a second person adventure would be, unless it was from the same outside view as third person but with the character literally being "you", the player, rather than someone you just happen to control.

No, but that doesn't really matter to me. I enjoyed the Atari game
Adventure despite my character being nothing but a square dot with one frame on animation.
For a more relevant example, the amateur adventure
Spooks works very well despite very little character animation. The main character is a floating ghoul who simply bobs up and down to move. She doesn't do anything special when picking something up.
I didn't say that Toefur should do a third person adventure, in fact I suggested he shouldn't. I was only answering his question.
