The beyond, a Dutch horror adventure on the C-64. That got me hooked, and some time later I played The Pawn, also on the C-64. I still don't know wether I finished that or not. I got rid of the wristband, and then everything got all weird....

I've been a lurker for a while, but I had to post for this. My first adventure game was Zork, which my friend and I played on our 4th grade classroom's dinky Commodore back in, what, 1990? Soon after that he picked up Wishbringer, so we could play that at his house. Ah, nostalgia...

First adventure: Beneath a Steel Sky
then: Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis

Gonchi · 12-13-2005, 10:11 AM

Ehh... I can't recall for sure which adventure was my first... I *think* it was The Dark Half (the crappy one from Capstone. Not to be confused with the equally obscure, but twice as enjoyable, Last Half of Darkness), I know it was amongst the first games I purchased, but I'm not certain if it was my first one...

The Beyond!

Do you know if it´s based on the movie?

deccoali · 12-14-2005, 02:14 PM

as i can remember i've played "maniac mansion" and "zac mac cracken(?)" on amiga around 91..

Dasilva · 12-14-2005, 02:17 PM

I think the first game I played was back in 1987, Space Quest II: Vohauls Revenge. I feel so old. lol

My very first game was one of the Kings Quests. I hated the spells because everytime I got all the ingredients the wizard came back and I died. I never did finish it. It was a friends and I didn't have a computer. Then I came to England and a friend got me hooked on pc games with the longest journey. It is the BEST game I have ever played.

Ken Williams had to make a statement about how it was the pirated copy, not the retail version of the game, that contained the virus.

That's hilarious! They must've been thinking about this when they did that little segment in the hologram on Space Quest IV. Remember the scientist dude talking about how his fellow workers got their grubby hands on something called Leisure Suit Larry and after installing it a virus was released that turned all the robots against them which destroyed their world. (or something like that)

Anyway, I remember watching my dad play Zork, but the first I recall playing was Hugo's House of Horrors. Went straight to the Quest series after that.

Prins of persia was the first game I played. Graphics and animation were
way ahead compared to other games from that period. First adventure
game was the EGA-version of secret of monkey island

Yes, it was. Glad I didn't see that; I hate horro movies. But a text horror adventure was not so bad...

Sabreman · 12-25-2005, 06:39 PM

I can't remember what came first specifically, but it would have been some text adventure on the Sinclair Spectrum. Possibly The Hobbit around 1983. I was never very much into the old text ones though, and it wasn't until Last Crusade and King's Quest III that I fell in love with the genre properly.

It´s a shame you don´t like horror movies, The Beyond is one of the best.

My very first adventure game was Hitchhikers Guide to the galaxy on my old Commador 64. The text version back in the 80s. It frustrated the pee out of me. Especially since you didn't have the luxury of seaching the net for hints/walkthroughs.

My first graphic adventure is harder to remember in my old age. Might have been King's Quest 2 or 3. Though Sam and Max probably hooked me for life. First game I replayed multiple times. And kept laughing each time at the same lame humor. My copy of that is now in the hand of those little elves that steal the socks out of my drier. Can't find it nowhere.
Damn, cruel world!!!!!

zorkhead · 03-21-2006, 07:45 AM

The very first, and might I say best, adventure game I ever played was Zork in 1985. I got my first Compaq portable (about 50 pounds) that year, bought Zork and was hooked. I still think it's the best in terms of depth and humor. Armed with nothing but a list of verbs and an imagination, I explored the Underground Empire. I always likened it to being inside a story. I have played many adventure games since, but Zork will always be the best!

Kaelistus · 03-21-2006, 07:56 AM

Hmmmm...

I was debating whether it was KQ3 or SQ1 and I thought KQ3 was first.. but then it came to me: Zork! On the Apple II.
