One important point no one has brought up is, popularity has nothing to do with quality. A fact proven simply by considering TV ratings. As an adventure gamer I detested Myst and no amount of discussion will change that. No I do not regard it a true adventure game. But I would not attempt to say the game was crap. I just simply disliked it and all of its clones. Clones meaning the Myst wantabees that so many felt they were required to produce after Myst's sales figures were in. My point simply is, just because millions bought it does not make it better than a game that did not sell. Again look at what is on TV as proof of popular does not equate to quality.
