I think Marc Blank and Dave Lebling of Zork and Infocom fame are the most important persons in this topic. Their games defined the genre and many rules that adventure games have been following up to this day.

And, of course, everyone forgets Frédérick Raynal, who defined both action/adventure and survival horror genre with Alone in the Dark and Little Big Adventure.
