I first played Loom when I got it as a present from my American pen pal. Then I read a review of The Curse of Monkey Island and bought the game. The Loom experience actually had very little to do with that - I bought CMI mostly because of the pretty hand-drawn graphics, and also because the reviewer praised the game to heavens. I loved CMI, and thought that the first two games were probably good, too, so I bought them. And then Grim was reviewed by the same person and I bought it, too. At this time I had already discovered Mixnmojo, Scummbar and AG. Back then adventure games were just another genre for me - I also played Red Alert, Worms 2, Battlezone (3D) and XCOM3. Later on I found DOTT and Sam and Max on an abandonware site...

So I voted Other.
