Gaming is still too young to have outlived a common fruit fly and it's already beginning to turn out significant products. Let's all gather back here when the medium's at least as old as comics to have a broader view of the topic, but even now, we're talking 'few', not 'zero'.

It makes less sense to lump together a shmup and a classic adventure game than it does with radically different movie genres. Some works only serve a ludic purpose and that's ok, others aim for something different and that's ok too, but it sure makes things confusing when one tries to talk of 'gaming' in general...
