Hello Again.

I apologise for the previous survey - it was my first time. In no way do I 
mean to waste your time and insult your intelligence. Here then, is a 
focused version of what I posted previously.

I want to find out if there is a market for adventure games among adults. 
What I mean by 'adventure game' is any game that is based primarily around 
puzzle/problem-solving in a fantastical setting (this can include anything 
from "Myst" to "Hellcab"). I ask for specific information about you because 
I think it is important to determine an audience in order to make something 
that is relevant to them. I do not wish to default to the image of the young 
white male computer user.

Overall, I think this is an important topic, and you might as well. If so, 
please feel free to fill out this short survey and send it to my email 
address (sreese@calumet.yorku.ca). I would be happy to post results later.

DO ADULTS PLAY ADVENTURE GAMES?

I. ABOUT YOU:
1. Your Age
2. Your Sex
3. Your Race and Nationality
4. The Type Of Computer System You Own
5. The Average # Of Hours You Spend Per Week Playing Games

II. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
What is your favourite type of game (give a few examples)? Do you like or 
dislike adventure games, and why? In your opinion, what is the best game you 
have ever played, and why? Do you think there is a an adult market for 
adventure games?

That's it.

I greatly appreciate any responses.

Thanks for your time,
Stephen Reese
