I was talking more about the "GameTap's description mistakenly attributes the 'launch of the entire adventure genre' to it" bit. That's probably not entirely fair. Maybe GameTap had the two games known as
Adventure confused, and maybe they didn't. It's a very fine point, though, I admit, and the meaning is quite clear.
