Bought my first adventure game (Discworld) in 1995.
Bought my latest one (Syberia) today... (Whee!)
I may be young as an adventure gamer, but among amateur adventure game creators I think I'm among the older ones and I'm getting older every day. Just you wait - soon I'll be an old geezer.
I'm not so much in this forum, though - I prefer usenet and only browse some web forums now and then.

First Game - It was either this popcorn game or this game where you're a fireman & bounce babies out of a building... yeah... memory faded
When I started - Too young to remember; all I know is that I brought a "Think Quick" manual in for show&tell in preschool (4 years old), but it wasn't my first game.
First Adventure Game - Not too sure, KQ5 perhaps

Resistance is not futile, we're gonna win this thing, humankind is too good, we're not a bunch of under-achievers! We're gonna stand up, and we're gonna be human beings. We're going to get fired up about the real things, the things that matter! Creativity, and the dynamic human spirit that refuses to submit.

It sure is! For that I need to thank my older brother and sister. Sure, I didn't understand a word: But it was still fun and tempting (see the list of the games I first played, and you will understand).
