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…
I first got hooked on adventure games with King’s Quest VI, and then went back and played one through five. I still fondly remember talking to that rotten tomato.
