Mine would probably be Chewy Esc From F5.
It’s not particularly well-regarded, but it was my first adventure game, and that counts for something.

Escape from monkey island.
It had been a while since I had last played le chucks revenge on my sons amiga(it was really hard with 11 discs to slap in)Curse of monkey island was not available on amiga and I could not afford a pc then.When escape from monkey island came out on the playstation I could not believe my luck.I found the controls fiddly but soon mastered them and immersed myself in some more monkey “love”.I didnt realise till years later that the game was so hated. I wish I could find a way to play it on my pc now.

Woodruff and the Schnibble of Azimuth.

It’s chock-full of inane puzzles placed in an enormous world where you’re (seemingly) free to go to a lot of places and do (seemingly) whatever you like. In the course of gameplay you inevitably get lost there, without having a clue what to do next. It’s mind-numbing, yet you (I mean I - a glutton for punishment) keep coming for more and try to play the game over and over.
It’s a horrible game with beautiful graphics and a lot of weird characters and goings-on that keeps dishing out inedible stuff to a player and yet keeps being attractive in some pretty inexplicable way.
I really don’t know why I still keep playing it (even in a third or fourth playthrough of it I need all the help -a walkthrough, a UHS hint file, a help of a friend- I can get), but I keep playing it nevertheless.

I must be a sucker for weird stuff, I guess. I love Woodruff and its/his crazy humo(u)r.

Yep. the cocktel vision games like Goblins and Woodruff are really great examples. They are very flawed ut they have a lot of charms too and crazy absurd humour.
