My first text adventure with role-playing elements was Melbourne House's The Hobbit, while my first CRPG proper was Bards Tale.

Pallio · October 2016

Tunnels of Doom - TI99

Dragon Age: Origins I believe was my first rpg. Damn fantastic game.

NeKryXe · October 2016

probably "The Lords of Midnight" back in the 80's, i'm not sure, i remember better those long tape loading times on zx spectrum than the game itself :') ...but my best early memory of RPG on video games is clearly "Ultima Underworld".

FF9, loved that game. In fact, I'll still pop it in every so often.

Eldersrolls IV: Oblivion.

Champions of Krynn, feeling old right now.

FloppyTouch · October 2016

First rpg I played was a tabletop game called warhammer40k

Nestor · October 2016

Dungeons and Dragons of course.

For a video game, it was Final Fantasy on the NES. Started that game at 5 PM and ended up playing it all night long until the sun came up the next day.

ShadowMage · October 2016

There were quite a few rpg's I played in my childhood. I don't remember when these came out or the order I played them, but these are some of the earliest I remember:

Baldur's Gate
Septera Core
Pokemon Blue/Yellow
FFVII, VIII, X
Legend of Dragoon
Chrono Trigger
Morrowind
Legend of Zelda (on Gameboy and n64)
Diablo
Resident Evil 2
Might and Magic ?VII? (6? 8? I can't remember for sure which one)

Final Fantasy III (aka FF 6) SNES.

What a ruined franchise FF has become. You didn't get better story and characters than classic FF games. Now FF characters are anime emo teens trying to save the planet from weird convoluted enemy all the while maintaining their dragon ball z hairstyles.

To me FF 3 is the best single player rpg ever. The super nes version, not the remakes

WarTurb · October 2016

Dragon Warrior on NES was the first RPG that got me into it.

Bam_Bam · October 2016

Single player = Kentilla on the Spectrum 48k. That was back in about 1985. The Hobbit came out at about the same time. Back then, they were called adventure games. RPGs to me are games like D&D (basic, expert and later on, advanced), Runequest and Middle Earth Role Play to name just a tiny few.

Tomg999 · October 2016

Wizardry VI: Bane of the Cosmic Forge on PC, 1990

(I'm not admitting to being a paper & pencil D&D nerd here in public)

I agree. Nintendo had it good during the SNES era with RPG games. The Nintendo 64 was great too, but we all know thats when RPG's went CD Rom, leaving Nintendo dry for a long time. That being said Chrono Trigger on SNES and Chrono Cross on PS1 great stories and character development.

itehache · October 2016

If Pokemon counts, then Pokemon yellow.
If not, then world of warcraft ^^

Lacerator3 · October 2016

I believe Dragon Warrior on NES was my first RPG then Final Fantasy quickly after. Those were fun!

Haha! That was me with my first RPG (FF9). That first play session must've been 12+ hours and I was up long after sunrise.

KingRegis · October 2016

One of the best If not the best RPG ever made Final Fantasy 7

Kodrac · October 2016

Diablo

Lysette · October 2016

To me it was Morrowind GotY edition in 2004 - and I did not even buy it for me, but for a friend, who did not want to play it - so I played it instead and got hooked.
