After my parents bought our first computer a family friend gave us a box of floppies. There were some adventure games among them, but as a young kid with no manuals I didn't get anywhere with them. I also remember attempting to play a bit of Police Quest 3 on my cousin's computer but never getting far.
What got me into adventure games was the arrival of a 4X CD-ROM for our computer. It came bundled with a few games. I imagine they may have all been from LucasArts. The ones that I still remember are The Secrets Weapons of the Luftwaffe, Loom, and The Secret of Monkey Island. Of the last two, I don't remember which I played first, but Monkey Island definitely had the bigger impact on me. It remains one of my favorite all time games and one of the most prominent gaming memories.
