 I loved that one I spent a lot of time on it. Hard to picture someone beating it in an afternoon I remember it being difficult. I guess my first was Kings Quest but I did not find it very engaing. The one that made me fall in love with RPG's was the text parser interface version of Heroes Quest. I loved that game it defines what an computer rpg should be IMO. My first on a console(NES) was Zelda if that counts as an RPG.

I remembered it being hard too, but the game is only 5-6 hours long (so an extended afternoon ) and there are a few tricks which weren't apparent to me as a child which made the game much easier.

Since a few people have metioned Adventure Games (I wasn't considering them at first), either Space Quest or Leisure Suit Larry would have been the first "RPG" I enjoyed.
