I played KQ1 on an 8088 back in 1983. The media was 5.25” disks, and there was some stupid form of copy protection that annoyed the hell out of me. I had an 8” RGB monitor. I was 36 at the time, but I can’t consider myself a late starter because there weren’t very many, if any, true graphical adventures available before then.
Another thought: 1983, March 11th to be exact, is when I met Sue. Three years later on March 11, 1986 we got married on Kauai.
So 1983 is when I played my first adventure game, and met my wife to be. On March 11, 2016 we celebrate our 30-year anniversary. And I’m still playing a game or two.
That’s a great story of love and adventure game love right there 
Congrats on your anniversary!
I’m an octogenarian and still playing, although a bit slow these days. They say it keeps the mind active - - perhaps.

Sorry for not including 70+ at the poll, i could not even add it now as polls get locked up once they are done, sorry again, mybad if anyone out there could not find a proper choice given for his/her own
TimovieMan could probably add a 70+ slot for you. There are currently only ten slots, so the poll does have room for one more.
For whom the games toll,
they toll for thee.

The truth can’t hurt you, it’s just like the dark: it scares you witless but in time you see things clear and stark. - Elvis Costello
Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka

Shortly after I got my first PC, about 20 years ago.
It sure helps when the joints start to go, you can let someone else do the walking. 
What was the 1st game that grabbed you? - I’m so curious?

Adventure game wise?
LSL 1 and then The Last Crusade would be the two that spring to mind.

I had been playing Rich Diamond and Valhalla Classics games and wanted something more of a adventure. Went into a store asking for adventure game, the clerk handed me Myst Masterpiece. I was hooked!
Fortunately I have kept WinXP and can still play some of those oldies since there hasn’t been many new games I care for. Playing mostly casual games now days.
