I stand at 51, I started playing adventure games in 1986 on a C128.
Great system, great games. Then it was an Amiga 500, Mac, PC, PS2, and finally a Dsi XL these games I am especialy proud to have played:
#65 – Hotel Dusk: Room 215
#60 – Another Code (aka Trace Memory)
#47 – Professor Layton and the Curious Village
#41 – Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective
#39 – Last Window: The Secret of Cape West
#29 – Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Because of this list I did a replay of Trace Memory and I was pleasantly surprised at how well it played. I got into the DS late (2006) due to still playing the PS2 and I got Trace Memory for only $15 dollars.

I'm glad to see Silent Hill:Shattered Dreams on the list. This game is one of the very best survival horror games ever released.
