Thinking back

Post » Thu Dec 08, 2011 10:58 am

I was just thinking back to my first RPG I ever played on a pc, It was Bards tale, wow how things have change, but it was really fun at the time :) . I completely get lost into these games when I play them, untill my wife smacks me on the head. LOL

One of my first ones that I can remember was Chrono Trigger for SNES. Didn't really get into RPGS until that one.

Zelda II was my first.

It had towns, NPCs you can talk to, leveling system, dungeons, castles, loot.

Oblivion was my first, I know, I know, I am a little late to the party. Before then I normally preferred strategy games like Age of Empires.

Hmm...My first RPG was probably Eye of the Beholder I (PC).

But it wasn't until Chrono Trigger (SNES) and TES 2: Daggerfall (PC) that I started to like RPGs.

Ultima 7 was my first... ahhh the good ol days. When I wanted to grow up so I could have a house and apartment.. now I'm wishing I could sit around going to school and play video games all day.

Hey, that is like me too. I played Empire Earth and Battle for Middle-Earth. I think that one of the first games on PC I really got into was Rome: Total War.

Of course, I've played several Legend of Zelda titles, but I'm not sure how many of them qualify as RPGs.

The first RPG (video game anyway) that I ever played? Easy question, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJ6uHOhf2AA Though, some would debate Adventure was the first, but it is clearly an Action-Adventure and appropriately named as such.

If we're not counting table top games, it'd be Legend of Zelda. I grew up really poor so I didn't have access to video games until my teens.

My original was probably Zelda: Links Awakening or Final Fantasy Legend 2 for the original Game Boy. I owned both so it's hard to remember which I played first.

What a long way I've come:

Monotone black and white with pixelated sprites, to fully imagined beautiful worlds in HD. Kinda brings a tear to me eye :cry: :rock:

Elite (1984).

OK, it's a space trading game, but that's just role playing in a ship.

And still no one's bettered it. Come on!

Ultima 5 was the first really in-depth RPG I played on a 4 Color CGA monitor. For consoles, my first was Legend of Zelda.

My first RPG was KOTOR for Xbox that was the first game I ever played a whole night through. Then when I got morrowind that turned me on to the whole open world philosophy. Side-note I owned morrowind six different times before I finished the main quest.
