point and click adventures I named one and dont dare say it aint dead cuz it is when the godfather of point and click adventures leaves its genre then bam its dead
Zombies are the scariest monsters around, not from the image but from the thought that they could make you into them, scarier than death!
I have to say this in every pinball thread: Kirby's Pinball Land.
But yeah more light-gun games please Sega... still waiting for PS2 ports of House of the Dead 1-3 and Virtua Cop 3 at the very least... why Sega are releasing these games for a console which has had no popularity in lightgun games and essentially no market whatsoever is beyond me. Yes the games can be that little bit more identical to the arcade versions but HOTD3 could easily be handled on the PS2 IMO and the main point is that these game, even if they were inferior ports, would actually sell a reasonable amount.
Still, after saying that'd choose the arcade versions over the console version of HOTD 3 any day, nothing can beat pump action shotguns (I swear these were released for the Xbox in really limited quantities at an insane price tag... was I dreaming?).

Pure text adventure games are kinda dead and pure text RPG's. VR games are dead too, not seen any new oes of those in the arcades.
Point and click adventure games ---> still being made, they're just more underground now
Pure text adventure games -> the interactive fiction community is thriving, perhaps more than ever
Pure text RPGS --> Plenty of MUDs still around.
VR games ---> I'll give you that one for now, but I doubt the genre is truly dead.
it still has zombies ;(
It's still not survival horror.....
Well. I suppose the pinball's trying to survive. I don't think it can turn into a zombie though.
Kirby's Pinball Land shall be, and always will be, the greatest handheld pinball game EVA!
In fact, I'm going to go dig out the cart and my GBC now...
I just meant that lightgun games have been in decline for some time, from the hayday of Time Crisis 2, and when arcades tended to have three or four different lightgun games.
As for dead video game genres, sure it's practically impossible to name a genre that has truely died, but a few games over the years is anything but a thriving video game genre.
Also let it be known, I love lightgun games, Time Crisis 2 and Crisis Zone are some of my favorite arcade games of all time, just it would seem to me that the genre has sort of lost it's luster.
I tend not to buy lightgun peripherals only because I know there'll be a serious lack of content, especially content I haven't already beaten. (When there is only a handful of titles it doesn't take long to exhaust your supply.)
So in the end, I consider the lightgun game to be a dying breed, because if it was something that really interested the public, more developers would love to cash in and try to make some, and right now you get a few games from time to time. (Practically every other genre gets games at a more constant pace...even music games)
Though I hope lightgun games return! (And arcades...)
