The first adventure game I ever played was Hugo's House of Horrors. It was okay, I never beat it as a kid, and just found myself going 'round in circles. Anyone played this one?
Yeah, I LOVED Hugo!! I still remember the chippy little theme tune!
That game was one of my firsts too, and kind of special for me. At the very end there's an old man who won't let you pass unless you answer several questions. I was a young kid and didn't know squat, and this was in the dark ages before the internet, so I had to gather the answers from people I knew. I remember being so excited about going to school one morning because it meant I'd have a chance to ask my teacher about the hero of The Hobbit.
... Goodness, I was a weird kid.
It amuses me greatly that in this playthrough, the game takes barely more than 8 minutes to beat.
Yeah? That's cool. I never beat it until a year ago when I looked up the walkthrough. I did like the chippy theme, though. It was kinda cool. Have you played the 2 sequels, too? There was one in the jungle and one at a mansion.
Day of the Tentacle on hacked floppy on our first family home PC. Then, obviously, Maniac Mansion, Indiana Jones LC and FoA...
My very first adventure games were all hacked. But I don't know how many time I bought these games after that... (I must have two or three legal versions of DotT , plus MM the Nes version...)

The Game of Life? Remember the one with the 3D cars on the computer? http://www.gamespot.com/pc/puzzle/gameoflife/index.html

Oh, well, mixing up L and N tend to hide that fact.
