It must have been Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis to the MAC. But i was about 5 years old at the time. The game that got me hooked was Sam & Max.

Edit: Meh, now i see that i've already posted in this thread. Ah well.

I think it was Kyrandia:Hand of Fate or maybe King's Quest 6.

Alass, at that time I didn't they were adventure games, so sadly I sold them after I played them.

The first adventure game I ever played was Maniac Mansion. I still love that game and consider it a classic among the best.

Well, like I said, I am sort of new in adventure games, or should I say in games, generally?
Before starting with adventures, I have only played like Sims, etc. Because my computer was a total disaster. So, I bought I new one & there I was looking at Dreamfall, and falling in love with adventures.. Now, I'm totally staring in computer every day & every free minute with some new game...
I always thought that games are just wasting of time that's because I didn't even wanted to play...But, eh, dreamfall...ruined my life...or maybe turned it into something more interesting, I don't know.
So that's my story then.

Yeah. Too bad Dreamfall was so short and the end disappointing.
Remember that great place, library when you came like April (after Zoe came) with those little green thingies, great atmosphere and that funny crow? Just remarkable how far could our imagination go...

I remember playing a game called waxworks on the zx spectrum..you had to type instructions in, it had pictures so not a complete text adventure..never did finish it, the spectrum broke! The first adventure I completed was monkey island on the amiga.

Whoops! Started reading these threads and quickly jumped to the last.

Some firsts are more memorable than others .

There's no way I can recall it. However it wasn't on computer, probably was Nintendo. (I'm so old I didn't even see a computer from a distance til I was 15. Like early stoneage to some.)

The first game I can remember clearly was Escape from Monkey Island, quickly followed by Grim Fandango and GK (1,2&3).

It was really hard for me, because I wasn't allowed to see the movie yet. In hindsight it's kinda hilarious how much easier it would've been had I known the plot of the film.

My first adventure game overall, though, was King's Quest 1, which I "helped" my dad play, also on the ST.

Yeah, movie gave in a lot. What made it really hard for me, was that I could barely even understand English at the age of 11(?), but with some help from dad's translating I could make it.

Then when the Monkey Island was released, I could do it by my own. I was about 13 when I played Monkey Island... I'm sure now, 14 years later I would enjoy it even more, because it's pretty obvious 13 years old kid couldn't catch all the jokes et cetera yet. But I remember it was very funny even back then.

That must have been SoftPorn in 1988 or something on my dad's rusty old XT with 10" monochrome screen. I never got far because I was only 10 and my grasp of English was just very rudimentary. Soon though we got a copy of LSL1 and I got to read about a lot more adventures in a Dutch magazine.

In the years following I got to play LSL3 and SQ3 on one of my buddy's dad's PC (some 286 w/paperwhite mono screen) and when I turned 13 we finally got ourselves a 386 16Mhz with VGA monitor so I could play LSL3 in colour!! And we started buying adventures legally... I think KQVI was the first one we ever bought legally, the second being ETERNAM -which was weird and I've never been able to complete it. In fact my mother was so addicted to them that she bought a bunch of them every month. I remember playing ULTIMA VII, Willy Beamish, Indiana Jones : Fate... , Monkey Island 2 in these times. This was when my English was improving and I learned most English from playing adventures and reading English pc magazines.

When I was 16 we got our first 486 dx with svga and cd-rom drive and the first games I got were 7th Guest and DotT. I remember all the great LucasArts and Sierra games, the anticipation for Phantasmagoria or something like Noctropolis because it had tits :-D. Under a Killing Moon must have been one of my favourite ggames in those years.

I kept playing adventures until around 1998 when I moved out to my own place and didn't have the money for a decent PC and games anymore. My mother kept playing adventures a little longer though, she beat Hopkins FBI before moving on to RTS games.... (which I really hate except for WarCraft 1+2)

I picked up on adventures only recently when I downloaded a demo of Secret Files : Tunguska to put on my work laptop for playing on boring business trips abroad. I just bought the full version last tuesday and I feel like re-living the great times of my youth
