   I especially wish that people's imaginations weren't so short-sighted   
   that Shenmue 1+2 failed to do what they were intended for.  A genre of   
   genuine city simulators (with actual people doing actual things) that   
   nevertheless contains a narrative and interesting characters, combat   
   controls, RPG elements, etc, is something that gaming today sorely   
   lacks.  Zelda 64's engine spawned a genre, Shenmue's should have also.
