If your new at this genre, i frankly would not recommend you playing this older games. They will feel like work more then fun, unless you can somehow play them on an handheld like the DS or something. And even then, because of the gameplay i don't know. Video games are not like movie or music, they just don't grow old well. They were great in their time but that's gone. I know because i grew up with them, and i recently replayed one of them, and it just didn't feel the same. The magic was gone. I would hate to see someone grow to dislike this genre just because he started the wrong way. I would recommend you play the more recent ones like:

Fahrenheit (One of the best games i played in years, although the end is a bit dumb. In the US it's caled Indigo Prophecy)
Runaway: A Road Adventure (Great. Their's a sequal, not so great but still ok)
The Longest Journey (the sequal is a let down)
Sam & Max Season 1
Syberia 1 and 2 (great and visually beautiful, second not as good, but a must for any serious adventure fan. You have other games from the same autor Benoît Sokal, that are overal pretty good)
Secret Files: Tunguska (great)
Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon
Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword (not so great)

But if you really want to try older ones i would recommend this ones, because i think it's the ones that best enduer the test of time and are still fun:

Grim Fandango (great)
DiscWorld noir (it's absolutely gread but also hard, your gonna need a walkthrough with this one)
Blade Runner
and some others i can't remember
