The 10 lamest adventure games of all time

Gamers, like all people, tend to be nostalgic for their youth. We wax poetic about Galaga, our first time blowing up the vector graphic Death Star, and almost all of Myst (except the ending…no one liked the ending of Myst).

However, just because a game is old doesn’t make it a classic, and the Topless Robot pop culture blog has compiled a list of The 10 Lamest PC Adventure Games of All Time, several of which were ported to the Mac.

What market will Apple enter next?

Computers. Displays. Cell phones. Music players. Online music. Storage. Networking. Apple is already in a ton of markets, many of which, unfortunately, are tightly tied together. However, Apple is still a relatively young company and can branch out so much more. The questions is, if at all, where? Will they enter the digital camera market? The gaming market? The GPS and auto market? Or maybe even video cameras? It could be any of the above, especially given the fact that Apple has applied for so many patents lately. It will be interesting to find out, but heres my thoughts:
