The first game/s that really got me into gaming were the original Police Quest, Space Quest, Kings Quest, and Leisure Suit Larry (probably not optimal for a kid lol), all played on a Tandy 2000. I was quite young when I played these but I think that having to actually type in what you wanted to look at, say, do, or grab really helped with my spelling and looking at things a different way at that young age. It was a long time ago but I was hooked from there and began to play console games at friends' houses after that.
