Doesn't really leave you with a deep desire to scrap XP and install Vista does
it.

Interesting that in this thread I don't see a single adventure game
mentioned.

I agree. There isn't any adventure games mentioned, but thats because this
thread is cross posted to two groups that are not adventure games like
action and rpg. I am only leaving it cross posted for now in the hopes that
someone in one of the other groups will delete adventure group from the TO
field (I live in hope).

LOL! What's crossposting got to do with anything?.. That's right, it
doesn't - there are no adventure games mentioned only because folks from
that particular group (including yourself) did not bother to reply, pure
and simple. You want adventure games? You got it baby! (aprox. release
dates included, some maybe a hybrid action/adventure)

And why is that exactly, are adventure gamers a breed apart? Maybe it's
just me but I had the impression the topic apllied to all kinds of PC
games, which justifies the crosspost.

And by you and other posters its a topic admirably answered. Plenty of
games to play and plenty more coming out this year. Unfortunately for
the doomsayers the end just doen't seem to be nigh... and has
obstinately persisted in not being nigh for several years now...

Nice rant (troll?) ;-p

One word: mobility. I've taken to playing all the older games on a
decent laptop these days. Have 7Mbit mobile data account - will play!
I even get decent performance out of the work Thinkpad for current games
like GW, WoW & CoX. I think my days of being tied to a workstation are
over. The next 'box' will just sit in the corner w/o a monitor for file
sharing/storage & I'll just RD to it over the wireless network as needed.

What I'm really waiting for is a 1680x1050 rez notebook with a compact
size (no larger than 13-14" screen) & a reasonable 3D card. Anyone know
of such a beast as yet? The Mac Book Pros are nice but a little large &
run too hot for my liking (it would have XP Pro dumped on it in any
case). Any/all advice appreciated guys.

FWIW: While I loved the trip down memory lane with DM Java I found the
memory leaks to be unbearable. I tried running it on 3 different
computers and had the same results with all: Maybe 20 minutes of play
before my entire system slowed down.
