I'm not entirely sure, but I remember The Curse of Monkey Island was one of the very first games I played, and then from there I really started to delve into games in general. If you've never played it, you play a sarcastic, lovable pirate wannabee named Guybrush Threepwood, and follow him on his many misadventures on his quest to destroy the fearsome zombie pirate LeChuck. It's the third game in the series, but you don't miss out on too much if you start with this one. I've got a very big place in my heart for point-and-click adventures because of this series!
