How old are you all

I know I put my age already, but I guess I'll add a little more about my adventure game history.

Again, I'm 38. I had 1st tried the Zork games, but I just found them rather boring and couldn't really get into them. The very 1st adventure game that I really got into was The Crimson Crown. It just used simple line graphics, but was a very fun/addictive game. After that, I got King's Quest 2. Played it on a computer that only used RGB 4 colors. Looked pretty ugly, but I loved the game and ended up buying just about every Sierra adventure game that came out since then (as well as finally getting KQ1).

When KQ4 came out, I saved up to get a Roland MT-32 to hear the amazing music on the new SCI games. Making only about $3.75/hour and not working very many hours a week cause I was still in school, it took a long time to save up the $530.00 to finally get it. But it was well worth it and blew me and my whole family away when we heard it. My Dad worked at IBM and invited some of his friends & co-workers over to hear it. It was was an amazing breakthrough at the time. I still have and use it to this day. Even though lately, I've been using the MUNT emulation more than the actual MT-32 device.

Wouldn't it make sense to make the graph based on birth year? That way you wouldn't have to adjust it ever.

Age 32 btw. Nice round number.

I'm 34. My first computer was a PC Jr., and my first game was King's Quest 1, which was brand new at the time.

27.

My first adventure game was Maniac Mansion, I was six years old (1990), then I came into Monkey island, dott, etc..

And I still loving it! maybe for nostalgia?

I remember that maniac mansion was installed by my aunt on my 386.. and I had all the codes on b/w photocopy... CIRCA 1991 I saw monkey island in a magazine.. and I told to my mom. "I want the game with the box, I want the box, not only the flopies !! " And since that I had and still having my original lucas arts games boxed

Nobody in my grade knows what DOS is, much less SCUMM or SCUMMVM

I'm 31. The first adventure game (aside from text-adventures) I played was the first Kings Quest, back in 88 I believe it was, on a cga 4-color monitor. Ahhh those were the days!
