Adventures have been dead for years. Lately there has been a small comeback with titles like Siberia but their performance has been disappointing. No doubt one reason for the discontinuation of Sam and Max2 and others.
In my opinion Adventures have not really died. Other game types have emerged and taken the good of adventures, the puzzles, the mystery and discarded the bad, the tedium and hours and hours doing nothing but running around seeing what you've missed that will let you continue. I'm thinking of games like Baldurs Gate and Star Trek: Hidden Evil. Not Adventures in strictest sense but having many elements from them.
