Colossal Cave Adventure?

BINGO!!

And to those that missed the most obvious clue:

Wouldn't it be interesting if they did a Pac-Man adventure game? I mean, they're planning a movie (no, seriously), so who knows what else they could do...

They already did back in '94: Pac-man 2 The New Adventures

There's a good chance I'm not playing that...

I think there's something similar in parts of Zork, but that's not older than Rogue.

Ok. Hopefully this isn't too easy:
1. Your character wears pajamas throughout the game.
2. You get turned into a plant - sort of.
3. Part of the gameplay occurs in a dream.

Pajama Sam? I'm a HUGE humongous entertainment fan, btw... The only reason I say Pajama Sam is because of the pajama's... It's been a long time since I've played the games, so I don't know about all the details...

If you need more specifics, I'll list the games:

1. Don't be Afraid of the Dark

2. Thunder and Lightning aren't so Frightening

3. You Are What you Eat From Your Head to Your Feet

4. Life is Rough When You Lose Your Stuff

If it's not any one of those, I'm at a loss then.

Nope. :) I will say that this is a graphical game, not a text-only one.

Nope.

Drat. I was so sure, too... Well, I'm out of guesses then.

Well, apparently it wasn't too easy. :P The game was mentioned on these forums not too long ago, so I know somebody knows it.

No, though that does appear to satisfy at least two of the criteria.

Another hint:
One of the inventory items is popcorn.

Nope. I didn't think this was that obscure.

It starts with your character getting sucked into the television.

Yes! It's a really strange game, but I liked it.

Here we go again:

1. One of the puzzles is based on Chinese folklore
2. There are four kings ...
3. ... and three deadly plants

EDIT: I changed the last hint because I realised that I left one of the deadly plants out of my count
