    Weesam I hear you. I just have different tastes to you and opinions on what is and isn't a videogame. If someone tells me they love text adventures and get lost in the world described, I take that at face value not decide that genre doesn't count.

    Easily The Hobbit. It took several years for following text adventures to even come close. In fact with all the stuff you could do in the game, text adventure is questionable pigeonhole to put it in; sandbox is probably closer to the mark.
