I got my first PC in 1986, and got Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy soon after. I had no idea this was based on a book, and had no clue what I was doing, but I laughed a lot trying this. Fast forward to 2001, I'd moved in with this guy I knew, and happened to come across Beyond Atlantis in a Staples store. It was cheap, and looked interesting, so I bought it. I thought it was gorgeous, but I had no idea how to play it. This guy and I sat down one night and played it together for about 5 hours, then another night for about 3 more hours. I thought this was heaven! He got me copies of one of the LSL games, and Eric the Unready, which were fun, but not my thing, really. Then he got me TLJ, and I was hooked for good!
