I was thinking about the games I have played, and I remembered this game called Raak Tu. It was a game made for the TRS 80 computer somewhere around 1981-1982. The game had no graphics, and was all text. It was kinda like those "Which Way" books, where you choose what you want to do next. It's amazing how far games and systems have come since then, but what's even more amazing is how impressed I was (and evidently still am ) with this game. Here's a link to the specs: http://www.figmentfly.com/raakatu/raakatu.htmlWhat was your first gaming experience? Cat

Like many other gamers, my first experience was with Myst, and that was enough to turn me into an adventure game addict...

Mine first adventure was definitely Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders (excellent Lucasfilm game) back on C64. This was the game which brought me to adventure games. I remember playing that game for months as there was no walkthrough and lots of dead ends. (I am not counting IF games of course)

My first one was a Treasure Island text game with the kids in the early 80's. We were amazed because little pictures would pop up from time to time. Then I didn't play another one until I played Amerzone 2 or 3 years ago.

I started playing The Legend of Zelda on the old NES that my son had and I borrowed the game from my nephew. Somewhere in the mid 1990's, I won a Windows 95 or 98 package deal from a radio station here in town. So we got a computer and I got Myst and Game Vault Volume One with Return to Zork on it. Boy was I hooked!!! So about three computers later (still want a laptop!) and who knows how many games later, I still love those games along with Grim Fandango, another early game I got. What would I do without a computer game to come home to every day???! Happy Holidays to all... Koalanut
So many games, so little time....
