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…
Fate of Atlantis was quite nice and challenging, especially when I could only play less then two or three hours a week. I’ve only finished this game years later.
Sorry for going off-topic since I know this isn’t the main subject of this post, but I’ve been playing quite a few adventure games since I got a steamdeck, being bedridden this has really changed my life. TheBlackwell series and other wadjet eye games being some of my favourites. Currently I’m playing Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars. I’ve played a lot of games I couldn’t play when I was younger like I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream or Beneath a Steel Sky to name a few.
I’m a dad of young kids and the SteamDeck has basically re-enabled gaming for me, and is actually getting me to pay attention to my embarrassingly large backlog.
Played Return to Monkey Island on it when that came out.
