Might be worth checking the modification dates on each of the different games released between 1985 and early-mid 1986. To see which ones have the earliest date-time stamps.

I would envision some of the infocom titles would have some of the earliest out of most of them. As some of those titles would have been relatively easy to port.

Early Infocom Game Story Data File Dates:

Ballyhoo
07 November 1985

Cutthroats
07 November 1985

Infidel
13 November 1985

Planetfall
07 November 1985

Seastalker
13 November 1985

Wishbringer
23 October 1985

The infocom interpreter for the most part has a date stamp of 07 November 1985. As each of these titles uses the same interpreter and it just loads the 'Story.Data' file.
