I'm 23 and started playing adventure games in the early 90s. I think I started with Maniac Mansion or The Colonel's Bequest. Good times. Only one of my friends is an adventure game fan and I don't think they've played one for a long while. My sister (25) loves adventure games too which is great, but my brother (24) who loved adventures growing up has moved onto FPS and hasn't looked back. (Although he sometimes gets nostalgic about Sierra and LucasArts classics.) I don't exclusively play adventures either. I like pretty much any game that is immersive and has a strong story. (BioShock, System Shock 2, Psychonauts, Mass Effect and KotOR being some recent favourites.)

As other genres have evolved they've most definately picked up some adventure traits.
