If by "games" you mean ones with extensive graphic animations, I'd say you a
correct. However, if the term "game" is expanded to include other forms of
computer games then you may not be so correct. I'm just putting the
finishing touches to a text-based RPG system that consists of a 'compiler'
and 'runtime' engine for Role Playing Games that use text as the primary
display for users, rather than animated graphics.

Actually the game system is finished and I'm 20-30% finished a demo game for
it. It'll be sent to RDS in either three days or in 24 days (got some
vacation time coming up).
