Monkey Islands 1 & 2 And immediately hooked of course

After that I searched for previous games in attempt to catch up and thus began a continuing addiction that still has me in its grip

Pi-Mania, on an old ZX-81 computer (anyone remember those?!).

Like many gamers Myst introduced me to adventure games followed closely by my first love Tex Murphy Under a Killing Moon .

Lesure suit larry in the land of lounge lizards, was my first game. I had to pay for phone hints.

Connie,
I remember calling that Sierra hint line too. Too bad we didn't have a site like Gameboomers back then.

Was it "The Day of the Tentacle" or "The Dig"?

First adventure game played -- Myst
Second adventure game played -- Shivers

All you who played Must for your 1st game are talented! I had a difficult time with that game a year into the gaming. That's when I learned creative cussing.

Myst here too!!! I didn't even think I liked games and it came with a pc my Uncle gave me. I had it for awhile before I looked at it...I didn't even know it was a game and I think it took me something like three months to complete!! I had never heard of a WT. I was hooked immediately and then found GB after buying Riven and have loved Adventure games ever since. I wonder why so many played Myst first????

I think the first game I ever played on PC was possibly Mystery of the Druids. I had played Streets of Rage etc on Sega (other peoples systems!)- the first one I played on my own system (consol) was Caspar. Then I tried Myst, Broken Sword & Excaliber all of which I got fed up with! I then went back to & persisted with Broken Sword - my first love with AGs!

return to zork

My first game was from S.S.I.games. Dragon Lance r.p.g. trilogy: champions of krynn; death knights of krynn & dark queen of krynn.
My first adventure was Lost in Time.

An old one: "Ulysses and the Golden Fleece"

My first ever game was on my schools bbc micro computer and it was called Granny's Garden.
My first adventure game that got me hooked was Lure of the Temptress have been adventure gaming ever since.

Laura Bow: The Dagger of Amon RA by Sierra. I didn't think that I would ever learn how to use a mouse but I persevered and loved this game!
After that, I played the Kings Quest games.

Not counting all the little mini games for computers,like the F1 racing games and such?

I well remember playing the original Myst. Also the original Doom. Was addicted to that one.
First adventure game other than Myst I remember playing and loving was Zork Grand Inquisitor.

The only "platform" game I ever enjoyed was the original Tomb Raider (never really liked the other ones).

My wife just reminded me that the first game I ever played on the PC was a Monty Python interactive game.

Being a game"boomer" it's hard to remember that far back. I played the Zork text games (can't remember which one first) and Wishbringer (I may even have the stone that came in the Wishbringer box around here somewhere). I think my first graphic real adventure game was Myst. I had a book full of notes. Love that game.

My first game was "Morpheous". I was so lost, but my benefactor sent me to a site for a walkthrough. That tossed me a bone and I've been chasing it ever since. Teddo

I think Phantasmagoria, though there are others around that same time that might've been first (Golden Gate, Shivers and Journeyman Project)... so it's a toss-up as to which was the very first. Would've been 1996... of that I'm pretty sure.

Still have them & sometimes look at the boxes with nostalgia as I 'grrrrr' at Vista for making it next to (or completely) impossible to play them again if I ever want to revisit my oldies.

Riddle of the Sphinx. Hopelessly lost I read at the R.O.T.S. forum about Gameboomers and the rest is history!

Am I the only gamer here who played Beyond Time? It was set in Egypt and the puzzles were hard for me then...that would have been about 1996 or 97. I mourn that some of these older games have not been updated so they play on Win98, XP or 'beyond'.
Love, Betty Lou

Nancy Drew: Message in a Haunted Mansion, back in 2000 or 2001.

Hello all!
Just had to chime in.
OK... my adventure with adventure games started with a shareware game for the Commodore 64 called "Hogbear." On a good old 5.25 floppy disk.

But I don't think it count6s though because I never got past the first two screens.

Then, many years later, I got 11th hour becuase the box looked so cool. I had no idea it was a puzzle game and solved some puzzles and got a little of the "plot." But the puzzles were too hard.
Then I got Gabriel Knight III... and the rest is history. I belive Lighthouse was next... but it could have been before.

Ha! I annoyed the Lady of Our House so much that she was soon begging me to use the phone hint line.

My first adv game was Return to Zork.

Hi Betty Lou; I have Beyond Time & still play it occasionally. It's a good game. Judy
