Here, I'll start. When I was 8 years old, my parents went to a dinner party and plonked me down in front of the host's computer so I'd stay out of their way. The game they booted up to keep me occupied was Space Quest II. Little did they know what impact that would have on me...
Lol, KQ3 was my cherry popping first time playing an AG too.. And i didn't cope with the parser coming from console (NES) and having limited english skills at the time (and lack of concentration due to ADHD probably didnt help either),๐ but the NES got shadowgate and deja vu, so those are the ones that finally got me into adventure games
