I have never been a big gaming person, but the excellent storytelling has impacted me more than anything else, especially in The Secret of Monkey Island[1] series, which truly impressed me.
Up until Monkey Island, I remember the graphics being quite mediocre (like in King's Quest). Monkey Island's graphics wowed me at the time and really boosted the immersive experience.
On the other hand, I recall playing Haunted House[2] on an Atari 2600[2] back in 1982, where the graphics consisted of white squares on a black background, and it scared us as kids.

- vunderba 2y agoYou're probably thinking of the kings quest games I-IV. KQ V which came out the same year as Monkey Island had pretty impressive hand drawn graphics, and King's Quest VI is absolutely outstanding.
