Hellbeard Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Well the First adventure game I played was Monkey Island, I beat it when I was 5 so I decided to play some of the other ones! My older brother was really into adventure games, so I managed to play some of the older ones like maniac mansion! I played a few sierra games but I just tossed those and decided to stick to LEC adventures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooJaka Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 My first adventure game was the good ol' Toonstruck. I got hopelessly stuck on the first CD though and lost interest but I luckily got Sam & Max instead. After that I managed to nail Toonstruck and the rest is history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Adventurer Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Mine was probly Indy and the Last Crusade. It was part of the "classic adventure" pack so I played MI, Zak, Maniac Mansion, and Loom the same day but I probley played Indy first sence I knew the charicter. After playing MI though I was hooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sultan12 Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Space Quest 3 for me. I thought it was the bomb, and I continud on to many other Sierra adventures......until I discovered LucasFilm's The Secret of Monkey Island. I never looked back it was Lucasarts all the way! (Sorry sierra I still love you) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trapezoid Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 My first games were MI1 and MI2 when I was incredibly young and easily amazed. Now I'm old and bitter and hate everything LucasArts does. I have not enjoyed an adventure game since I was 12, so it's obviously the game industry's fault and not mine. Actually, my first real adventure game was Sam and Max when I was 6. It of course warped my soul enough to prevent old-and-bitter syndrome for life.

checkmate Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 My first was Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. It was a very slow and pathetic Mac version. We had a German exchange student, who may not have liked it, but played it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scabb Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 I have no idea how old I was, it was around the time that my cousin got an amiga, if that helps you. It was of course, Monkey Island. I played for a while and then I had to go home. But around a year later, around the same time I got my first PC, whilst shopping in HMV, I saw Monkey Island for sale. I instantly bought it. Then bought many others. And we all lived happily ever after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scummbuddy Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Monkey Island. OOOh yea! After its first release, I played it over my neighbors. I was so young and I remember how clever the code wheel was. I never owned it until the LucasFilm adventure pack came out. Loom, Indy, Zak, MI and MM. They were great. With the jokes against Sierra I never cared to play one. Still haven't. Don't have the time or the place to get a game 10 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wossname Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 I think my first adventure was Leisure Suit Larry 2. I went on to play lots of Sierra adventures until I bought three games in a row which were intolerably short, including one that took me about 4 hours of not particularly intensive playing to finish. After that I vowed I would never again buy an adventure game. Until, that is, I played the first Monkey Island, which I picked up in a bargain bin for about $10. It was a bit out of date at the time, but all the things that Sierra adventures did wrong, Monkey Island did right. I decided to give adventure games another try, but since that day I have not bought a Sierra adventure. Not even Gabriel Knight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remi Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 Either King's Quest 1 or 2, plus a few other old Sierra games. The first one I really enjoyed was MI1 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Assassin Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 Mine was "Return To Zork". It temporarily turned me into a die-hard zork fan. Then I played "The Secret Of Monkey Island" and got adicted to LEC adventure games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall Guy Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 mine was Grim Fandango actually...*goes red*...but i played a ton of the older ones after that...honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jannar85 Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 I played Monkey Island 1 at the age of 11-12, when I borrowed it from my nephew. I didn't know what adventure games was before that. I fell in love with the lucasarts adventure games, I bought sierra games too though - but I disliked them. I bought all adventure games that came out, including all the LEC games. I love the old classics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elTee Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 The first one I played was Zak at a mates. I didn't actually play though, I just watched. Then my dad bought a PC and Sam and Max was the latest game out, so he bought it. He wouldn't let me play it though, cos I was only 8 and he thought I wouldn't get the humour. But I looked in dir/games and there was one called "monkey." So I played that, and didn't tell my dad. Then he found I'd completed it about 9 months later (it took me that long, rather embarrasing but I was only 8 after all) and let me play Sam and Max, which I couldn't do. Then he bought me DOTT and MI2, and I did MI, but failed at DOTT. Eventually re-did DOTT and Sam and Max when I was 11 and finished them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellbeard Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 I beat MI1 in about 3 weeks when I was 5! No Joke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsgood2slide Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 The first adventure I bought was Day of the Tentacle But I did briefly play Monkey Island 2 on a friends PC before that, although I did not really know what I was doing. It was DOTT that made me a fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 I first played some Kings Quest game or another on an Apple II in elementary school and absolutely hated it (something about a swooping bird picking me up outside a forest?). After than I played The Black Cauldron... sweet christ. Wasn't until a bit after I finally tried (and enjoyed?!) Kings Quest 5 that I got ahold of Monkey 2. Finally, a good one.

Alien426 Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 Monkey Island 1. It was a pirated copy (on floppy disks), but later I bought it as well as other Lucas titles. I also remember playing Dallas on my C=64 before that. It was a semi graphical adventure. You'd see images and type the commands. I didn't ever get close to finishing it and didn't like it much either (apart from finding it immensely interesting). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1.21 Jigawatts? Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 My dad got Monkey Island 1+2 copied from a friend at work at around about the same time. From what I remeber, I played Monkey Island 2 first out of those two. Beofre that though, I had played on Leisure Suit Larry1 + Police Quest 1 at a friends house a little bit.

elTee Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 Lol, I remebered - I played Police Quest 1 (original) when I was in year 5 at primary school. It was on the computers. Hmm, that makes me.... I was 9 or 10. We got as far as getting out of the police station, but we crashed the sodding car. And when I was in year 7 a mate of mine found MI2 on the network, and everyone started playing it in maths and I was the only one who knew how to complete it, but we all got bollocked and the technician got fired, I think, for installing it on all the computers.
