Leisure Suit Larry was my go to growing up, I remember trying really hard to answer the Age Quiz questions and getting stumped with the response “YOU’RE A KID!” Then my mate showed me the CTRL-ALT-X hack and it was on like Donkey Kong.
Police Quest, Space Quest and Kings Quest are all great too.

Games were artifically hard and unfair to sell more hintbooks.

This used to and I guess still is to some degree one of my favorite styles of games (Point and Clicks).
You can't really go wrong with any of the Lucasarts / Lucasfilm releases in that style, although I've not really pleased The Dig or Loom before.
Monkey Island, Monkey Island 2 and Curse of Monkey Island are up there for me, Full Throttle is great fun but quite a short game compared to the others. I'm replaying Day of the Tentacle on PS4 right now and it's harder than I remember (maybe I'm getting thicker - In more ways than one
)
Also try Thimbleweed Park.

Shroom you're a fag as hell up in this bitch right now but I still like you.
PC games to me are as foreign as aliens to me, tbh. Still surprised I've never heard of The Dig before.
Bitchin box art. Reminds me of The Thing.

Lucasarts games were a staple growing up.
I really enjoyed re-playing thru fate of atlantis.
If you have a sound canvas, or want to fire up a MT32 emulator, you can have a lot of fun enjoying them with enhanced soundtracks. With some help of DosBOX and VOGONS forums, you can re-play a lot of these using a general midi module. I replayed fate of atlantis with a real SC-55 for music, and DosBOX handling the vocals. It was a real treat.
Favorites of course were DOTT and Sam and Max, also the Monkey Island series.

I've never played the LA adventure games, but used to solve Sierra games so they're probably way easy in comparison.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Adventure Game was the first of the LucasArts games that I played. It actually complements and expands the mythology of the movie really well...it even has multiple endings (like you can prevent Elsa from dying like in the movie).
I've played most of them and the majority tend to hold up better than a number of the Sierra games.
I also want to second the mention of Thimbleweed Park. That game is like a never-produced Maniac Mansion 3. It had me enthralled from beginning to crazy end.
