A very good question. When I was a little girl, I used to watch my two big brothers playing some games. I once tried the first adventure game in my home, Curse of Monkey Island. I liked it, but it was hard for me because I had just learned how to read and as English isn't my native language, I had a hard time playing it, so I gave up.
Around late 2007, I tried to play Curse of Monkey Island again. Well, as I was in the 9th grade, I had learned some English. I enjoyed the game even more, so... I guess I could say that my first adventure game was CoMI.
I liked to play adventuring games, so now I have played many different kinds of games, Sam & Max, Day of the Tentacle, Leisure Suit Larry, Monkey Island...
Oh yeah, when I was around 10 years old, I played some Spy Fox demo version. I think it was an adventuring game, right? I also recall some names such as "Freddi Fish", "Pajama Sam" and "Putt-Putt". I think they were some adventuring games, too. I might even have the demo CDs lying around somewhere...
But yeah. I guess it's safe for me to say that my first adventure games was Curse of Monkey Island. A great game, indeed.
Curse of Monkey Island was my first adventure game, right after it got released, I had no idea about that genre before I played it... Still my most favorite adventure.
My first adventure game was The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes - The Case of the Serrated Scalpel. I have played it a couple times since then. But....ahhh the memories.

I remember that game. It was pretty good. The sequel, The Case of the Rose Tattoo, was better in my opinion.
My first was Day of the Tentacle - followed by Sam and Max hit the Road.
I didn't even have a computer than and was forced to play the games at different friends. Always replaying the parts i played on another computer. So it took me some time to finish them.
So, as soon i got some money, i bought my first computer.
And the first game i bought: Myst.
who also said zork.. some great lady (KISS) you are not old! perfectly ripened.
meretchen?
Also I dont think it was pirate island.. sigh my memory, thank god for mobygames. I have the box still and mine said pirate cove, until I searched it.. it is the game you are talking
During speech therapy I briefly played a little King's Quest on an Old Mac, that's back when the game was fairly new... then a few years later I got a hold of a Lucas Arts box collection of Hits and got
Sam n Max
DOTT
Rebel Assualt
Tie Fighter
Fate of Atlantis
A few others...all at once.
So we played them all, can't really remember which was first though. I remember getting them in the box at the store with my father though and looking at other games that we're out at the time. The Golden Age of video games, it was a beautiful time.
But that was the beginning of my parent's divorce and so it was the only thing we had to do because we were forced to stay at home and to not use the phone to call home home, or anything else. It was like a boring prison a lot of the time. We didn't do a whole hell of a lot. We eventually stold the CDS and took them home to play with them.
No, wait, now I remember, we got Rebel Assault for Christmas at our dads and it was an awesome game to get. We we're so very excited. Rebel Assault didn't come in the box. That was the same year I got one of those vader face masks that changes your voice, I think...OH WAIT, Maybe it wasn't Rebel Assualt, it might have been Star Trek Next Generations, A Final Unity. We had that game too and I loved/ love that game. Might have been both.IT was both games.
Maniac Mansion was my first one, but I never beat the game. Had problems to find the key to the trunk and gamefaqs wasn't invented at this time (heck, there was no world wide web at this time. :eek: ).

I played all of those, I'm not sure which was first. On an unrelated note, Welcome to Tell-Tale, Locke!

I immediately went out and bought the first and second monkey islands after playing CoMI.
