Games like Space Quest, Kings Quest, Police Quest and Larry. But in all fairness, at that time it was not crappy graphics, it was cool.
I got hooked on the Space Quest series and just love old Roger. Some of his quostes:
"My, this is one hot planet! But you don't care; you're protected with Thermoweave Underwear!"
"Casually glancing at the status bar, you notice you're in Space Quest 12..."
"Ahh! The aroma of several adventure games emanates from your person."
It kept me playing for hours and hours and strangely, there is no game today that gives me the same feeling although the graphics etc improved. I't just that Roger Wilco and his attitude made a game to remember.
PS:
"The original Space Quest game was released in October 1986 and quickly became a hit, selling in excess of 100,000 copies (sales are believed to be around 200,000 to date, not including the many compilations it has been included in). It was remade and re-released in 1991 as "Space Quest I: Roger Wilco in the Sarien Encounter"."
