I remember many, many years ago my folks rented a Mattel Intellivision system for the weekend from our local video club and my brother and I picked out a bunch of games to go with it. On the Saturday afternoon I put a Dungeon and Dragons cartridge in and played for hours. It was a game where you walked down corridor after corridor in the first person and I'd never seen anything like it before. I felt like I was a part of the game and when I defeated the monster at the end I felt such an accomplishment. After that, I was hooked.
Gaming wasn't so popular in the mid eighties but in 1989 I bought an NES. I owned many games for that system and fondly remember Maniac Mansion. I think that was my first "adventure game", I loved that nutty story.
Such fond memories of times gone by. Thanks for this thread.
