What was your first RPG?

Milvan · October 2016

PnP: GURPS 2 Ed. (Gurps supers to be more precise)

Video Games: Super Mario RPG.

My favourite: Ultima Online - The MMORPG to rule them all.

if by RPG you mean Rage Playing Game, then I would say tetris.

First rpg: Dungeons and Dragons (pen and paper - NOT ADnD)

First rpg computer game: The Hobbit (probably) with the old mix of text commands/images

First MMORPG: DAOC (or perhaps the original Planetside if that counts - can't remember which I played first)

James-Wayne · October 2016

Can't remember exactly which one but either Eye of the Beholder, Ultima IV or Pool of Radiance

Good days!!

Oblivion. Skyrim was technically a better game but I still prefer the quests, characters, environment and overall atmosphere of its predecessor. There's a simple charm to it that Skyrim didn't manage to capture.

Agreed. Looking upon the White Gold Tower and walking around the Imperial City for the very first time was awesome. Also, the quests were much better and funnier than Skyrim.

I was talking to some friends about this and figured this would be interesting to put on the forums. so my first RPG was Quest 64 (Holy Magic Century in EU) it was... not the best looking back but I fell in love with RPG genera especially after the Final Fantasy GBA remakes and...Pokemon so I guess it was a positive. What was your first RPGs?

Are we talking about just video games or does table top count if so my first RPG was Dungeons & Dragons. I played it long before I had a video game system.

Enodoc · October 2016

The first I played was Morrowind (I think). The first I owned was Oblivion.

I still remember my mom being so proud I wanted graphing paper. Then she figured out why.

Mandragora · October 2016

Did anyone play Mume? For me it was the best MMO, RPG and open world PvP ever created.

Demeos · October 2016

Well, if we're going by turn-based RPG's then, Dragon Warrior.

If we're going by action adventure RPG's then, The Legend of Zelda.

And if we're going by MMO RPG's then, Priston Tale 2 (during the 2 year open beta).

I love that game.

DND (and Orthanc and Oubliette) on Plato mainframe at University of Illinois, circa 1975.

Jaronking · October 2016

My first RPG is probably Pokemon red but I consider Star wars Knights of the old republic as my first RPG and still one of my favorite games of all time.I played it when I was 7-8 I believe and never beat it but my uncle who was 13 did I watch him play it and I beat a few levels and found several pieces of the star map for him.Man I love that game and really hope they remaster it.So I can finally beat it now that am older and know what the hell am doing lol.

Diablo 1

Ironside · October 2016

Heck I don't know, we are talking 1000s of games and 30 years ago. My first was probably not that memorable. I was deep into FPS once the original doom and quake came out. The rest of my gaming took a backseat.

I still remember playing Oregon trail on 5 1/2 inch disk, having a perfect game with all family members alive and full of life, 2 feet from paradise and a wheel breaks. Trade an Indian for a wheel but the game bugged and took my stuff but I didn't receive the wheel. Everyone starved to death and game over. I have never trusted trading with an Indian since.

Gaming: teaching kids life skills from a very early age.

Bauldurs's Gate and then Bauldur's Gate 2 which is the best game I have ever played to this date. Bioware used to be the masters of story telling in a game and the emo really gets to you.

I don't remember my first RPG, but I remember being completely addicted to the Baldur's Gate games. The voice of Minsc will never leave me.

RavenSworn · October 2016

First rpg? Lone Wolf series by Joe Dever. Pen and paper. Awesome times.

Julianos · October 2016

diablo 1, nox, ultima online, fallout 1&2

QUEZ420 · October 2016

FFVII, nuff said.

sevomd69 · October 2016

Showing my age here... Telengard was my first and maybe favorite RPG... Vorpal Blade FTW...

GaldorP · October 2016

Hm, probably Mystic Quest Legend on the SNES, or Might and Magic 3 on the PC, or Wizardry 7 or Realms of Arkania: Star Trail. Not sure which one I played first

I played many Action Adventure games in fantasy worlds before that but I wouldn't qualify those as RPGs in a strict sense.

Abeille · October 2016

I'm feeling like a baby here, reading these posts :P

Thanks!

D&D First Edition. In the red box. Gods, I'm old. lmao!
Huzzah to Gary Gygax! God Father of Fantasy Role Play!

Apherius · October 2016

Oblivion .

Glaiceana · October 2016

It's kind of hard to choose. I played so many games as a kid. I could say Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver (PS1, 1999) as that was pretty much the first game I ever played and has RPG elements but is mostly classed as action adventure (it's also still my favourite game to this day)
Perhaps then it was Pokemon Sapphire the original (GBA, 2003), and then Drakengard (PS2, 2004). All of them were amazing games for me.

EDIT: I just realised, since people are listing not just video games, I also played Fighting Fantasy, which were role play game books by Ian Livingstone and Steve Jackson, around 2002. Dice and paper! I was 11 years old

Rohaus · October 2016

Lands of Lore on the PC back in 93. Amazing game for it's time period.

Cherryblossom · October 2016

Dungeons and Dragons first edition, pen and paper, lots of lovely dice

Sallington · October 2016

1996 was a good year to get into RPGs

Super Mario RPG
Diablo
Pokemon Red/Blue

I wasn't a true RPG addict until Morrowind
