Hey, this isn't really an appropriate thread because it will just devolve into badness.

I urge you to check out http://mobygames.com, they have a HUGE collection of games in their database and will help you learn all the names of adventure games through the ages.

Two threads with similar themes: Greatest adventure game of all time and Favourite/most hated puzzles, both over in Popular Threads. Not a complete list of every game ever, but they do contain discussons of what and why peoples favourite games are - which might be closer to what you wanted to start?
I know what you're thinking ... Don't think that.

Why should I follow your rules? You clearly aren't following the forum rules so...

I don't recall any adventure games from the 1960's.  I could be wrong though...there may have been a few on those giant mainframe's that took up a whole room way back then, it might have contained a few blips and beeps.

Mario Bros dates from 1983. The game you're probably thinking of, Super Mario Bros, dates from 1985.

The first adventure game is ADVENT, and it was written in 1976. The only 1960s thing that comes even remotely close is the psychological feedback generator, ELIZA.

I compiled a comprehensive list of EVERY adventure game from the stone-age to the year 2018.

Here it is right here:

now ... in order to read this you must open your computer case, take a large magnet, and run it back and forth over your hard-drive for about 15 minutes.  I know it's a long time magnet rubbing, but the list is really worth it!

Trust me it works.

I remember playing a little game called "Wompus: Spelunking for a Monster" on IMB main frames in the late 70's.   Ah, what memories "I feel a draft...  Bats are near... I smell Wompus...".   

We also had a text adventure running on an Intel MDS which was a big blue box housing a feeble microprocessor, by today's standards, used to compile programs that could be burnt to EPROM chips and plugged into microcomputers, mostly of the home brew genre.
