Oh, this is a hard question. I didn't really like adventure games before I played Broken Sword 1. I think the first adventure games I played was one of the King Quest games or Larry games. I think it was the Kings Quest where you live with the wizard, and you has to do different chores and such. I think that's the third game. But anyway, I didn't really like adventure games at that time. Too much writing exactly what you wanted to do... and too easy to die by falling off some place. Like walking down the path in KQ3 was so difficult. Much more difficult than it would have been if you actually were going to do it for real.
I really liked the point'n'click type of game. I think Toonstruck was the game I played either right before Broken Sword or right afterwards. |

Well, the oldest adventure game I've played (not counting text games), is Police Quest 1. But that wasn't my first game. My first game, believe it or not, was Noctropolis.

Prince of Persia is not an adventure game.

I don't think Castle of Dr Brain or Mixed up Fairy Tales are adventure games, so probably Leisure Suit Larry 6 would've been my first. Maybe Discworld 1 before that! (Many more followed, though )

First adventure game ever was Dune. Some years later Quest for Glory 3 and King's Quest 5 (almost at the same time I guess)

MANIAC MANSION on a C128 (or was it the Commodore 64 )
back in the 80´s (I think it was the fall of 1988). Played it with my brother. And we wondered WHAT kind of game would need so much discspace. MM was spread over two 5 1/4 floppy discs whereas ca. 5 to 12 other games of that area shared another. It really was the most complex game we played. I was hooked since I found somethin´ under the doormat And Edna gave me the creeps |

I am new here and i had to post here to bring back the good old memories...
I think i started on the Hugo games back when I was around 5ish... after that I moved on to what are now the classics - day of the tentacle, sam & max, indiana jones: the fate of atlantis, leisure suit larry (came back to this when i was older hehe), and after those i branched out to space quest iv w/ roger wilco, king's quest VI (V was just OK), and gabriel knight sins of the fathers (tried mask of eternity and the beast within years later but never got into them and didn't like them as much). Somewhere in between there I played a pretty good game that would've been one of my favorites but it kept crashing at a certain point... don't remember the name but it had rpg elements and you could fight guards at night and pick locks to doors, and pickpocket people and pilfer from shops and rob a bank and some npcs were half animal / half man. Haven't really found anything good in recent years... played a few independently made games on AGS and also tried 'Still Life', 'Martin Mystere: operation dorian gray', and recently the new Sam & Max episodes. that's about it... Oh and i just installed dreamfall the longest journey so we'll see how that plays... Last edited by sumo28; 02-21-2007 at 11:15 AM. |

I think it was Star Trek: 25th Aniversary back in 1992. I remember my parents weren't too happy after getting the phone bill with a hundred calls to the Interplay hint line.
