For me, it was the original King's Quest. Like you, my dad was looking at a way to keep my brother and I busy.
The original King's Quest — as in PC Jr, or the DOS conversion? Either way, I would imagine KQ1 kept you guys busy for a loooooong time.
It did keep us busy on the fun DOS conversion
I didn't play it until a couple of years ago when I did my video on it. I imagine I would have had a lot more fun with it if I was a kid and had all the time in the world to explore the world. Sadly, my first KQ game was KQ3, which stopped you from having any fun every 2-3 minutes with the sudden appearance of a bossy wizard.
I didn't play that until 18 when I bought the King's Quest collection. I think if that had been my first experience, I wouldn't have ventured into the adventure games world at all.
That being said, I do plan on making an text adventure game along similar lines.
Somehow my friend from school had gotten wind of the "bye bye wizard" cheat code, and we STILL couldn't get anywhere in the game. I'll take falling off a space station to my death, thanks. 😂
The Cliffs of Illogic!
