Phantasmagoria and Gabriel Knight 2, for example, are FMV adventures. they both used real actors, acting out the scenes. Phantasmagoria used a lot of pre-rendered stuff with live-action sprites (looked SHITTY in combination), while Gabriel Knight 2 used real live backgrounds. I liked them both, altho i had to play phantasmagoria twice because the first time, i missed out on all the gory scenes. come to think of it, should they be considered pure FMV adventures? i mean most of the times, the walking sprites and stuff were re-used over nd over again! oh well whatever. they were great games.
