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...
Well technically it was text-based Zork that first blew my mind. But I'd say the adventure game addiction didn't become chronic until "Ultima III: Exodus" on Comodore 64. (I'm going to have to insist RPG and Adventure game are the same genre, because back then we didn't make a distinction.) Good times.
