Ask Slashdot: Best Adventure Game To Start With?

Posted by Soulskill on from the getting-them-hooked-early dept.

canolecaptain writes "One of my daughters (10 years old) has become interested in adventure games, and started playing Fate. It's been awhile since I've had time to play this type of game (since the Diablo 2 days), and I'd like to know what Slashdotters thought would be the best set of adventure games to start her on (PC preferred). Nothing too scary yet, so unfortunately, Diablo is out for the time being. I'd prefer one with multi-player so that we could quest together on ocassion."

    Setup a multiplayer minecraft server at your house, thats what my dad and my little brothers and I do, they play and every once and awhile my dad and I hop on and play with them.

    Can't recommend the old Lucas Arts classics enough. They're not multiplayer, but really you'll have a great time with your kid going through them, any of them really. Day Of The Tentacle, Monkey Island (the first 3, yes I actually liked the 3rd), Loom... hours of enjoyment guaranteed. I'd recommend Sam & Max too but my memory of them is way too vague to remember if it's appropriate for a child, ESRB rates the first one as "Teen". Probably best to judge by yourself on that one. Oldies but greaties.
