The first AG I ever played were MI 1 and Loom CD versions.
They were included with the SoundBlaster Pro package of our 1st decent PC: a 486 DX2 66! (Before that, we had a 8086 with Hercules Gfx card, so only two colors  - mind you, there was a text adventure I tried to play on it (Haunted, or something like that), but my english was very poor at that time, I was only 10 years old).Nevertheless, the first AG I finished was Loom! The great CD version was so enchanting that I couldn't leave the game before seeing the end of it! |

My first adventure game was King's Quest III. I was pretty young at the time, and I was much more interested in the Zaxxon-style game sitting next to it on the shelf. However, my father insisted that I give KQ3 a try. Needless to say, I loved it and played every adventure I could get my hands on after that. I believe my second adventure game was Space Quest 1. I still view those old Sierra games in a very fond light.

First one was Monkey Island when it was released. I was pretty rubbish at it then too and took a long time to get my head around what I was supposed to do but once it clicked, I moved on from there really.
There was a text/graphics adventure game that I did play just before that which was more text based that I can't remember the name of on C64. The story was I had annoyed a wizard and he had trapped me in his castle. Don't remember much else except there was a puzzle near the end of the game where I had to kiss a frog and the computer said "what now, wise one" a lot. If anyone can remember what that was called, feel free to share  It would be an 80's game.

King's Quest IV, it came with the first computer my family bought, a 3x86. Those were the days

I can't remember the very first AG I ever played although I am pretty sure it was something on the ZX81 that I spent hours typing in from a magazine
The one game I do remember playing is Dark Seed which I think I bought for either my Amiga 500 or 1200? I do remember it being very scary, especially when the doorbell rang and you found a mysterious package outside.......

First game? Zak McKracken (no surprise there!) It was 1993, and I had many first job, developing interactive training software. One of the programmers lent me a copy (I have since bought a legit copy, I hasten to add!). I spent most of my days creating 16 color graphics, and my only experience of gaming was platforming on the C64 (yawn, yawn). It was a defining moment for me to see a (more or less) realistic character in (more or less) realistic locations, and the kind of thing I was drawing, but this one was alive, and you could interact with it! Maybe I led a sheltered life, but this was the first time my computer showed anything other than still images or DOS text.
Ah, memories. At first I thought the game all took place on one room (I was VERY naive about games). I remember the joy when I got out into other rooms. And the amazing feeling that this world, thought it fit on one or two floppies, went on forever! Then after a year I discovered how to get the mouse working! It was just amazing. And of course the style and approach really appealed to me - non-violent, mind expanding, the vast scale, and links to real world stuff. Ever since then I have been looking for another game like it, and I never found one. That's why I finally decided to make my own.
