In the early 90s, my dad introduced me to The Secret Of Monkey Island. My brother and I had our own savegames, and always wanted to get on the computer to continue playing. I must admit it was slightly competitive too. I guess we both wanted to finish first. I distinctly remember my dad coming home with the Monkey Island 2 box a few months later, and thinking the cover was one of the coolest things I'd ever seen. He said we couldn't play it until we finished the first game, and I'm grateful for that - MI2 was all the more sweet when I finally got to it after the hours of puzzling on Monkey Island (sometimes tough for an eight-year-old). Good times.

So SoMI was my first adventure game, though I didn't think in 'genres' til a few years later. I think my first game of any genre was Prince Of Persia, a little while before.
