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)

@ShadowMage you skipped 9!? damn you missed out on a great game Zidane is the best (next to Terra)

AD&D Treasure of Tarmin, Intellivision, 1983.

The first console game that would be recognizable as an actual RPG with the traditional RPG elements.

Since people are also listing MMOs: Everquest online adventures

Yeah, not sure how that happened...Played most of them since, though. X-2, 12, 13 (skipped 11 and 14 'cuz they were online, ESO is my first MMO)

Pirate's Adventure/Cove (Commodore)...1980ish. Does this count as an RPG?

Dungeons & Dragons in the '70s. For Science Fiction RPG it was Traveller in '78 or '79. I remember we never got much past creating characters in Traveller, that part was super fun.

To be serious, that would be Dungeons and Dragons, pencil and paper in the 3rd grade. I still remember pouring through the Monster Manual, Player's Handbook, and Dungeon Master's Guide.

Dungeons & Dragons here too, back when it was really new and church people were getting their smalls in a twist because the game contained demons. Fabulous game, made for people with imaginations!

Yes, I'm really that old!

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?

My first Computer Game was Akalabeth: World of Doom around same time I also first played Pen and Paper DnD and Gamma World both from Tsr

Egonieser · October 2016

Diablo 1 I guess. There have been some others before, but i don't count 8-bit consoles as gaming systems for well over 25 years.

This was my first one too, on my Commodore 64.

How many of you added El Cidd to group to take his stuff....

Neoauspex · October 2016

Old text based game called Moria on my 286. Had to go 50 levels down and fight the Balrog. Took us forever to beat because for the first year we didn't know there was a command to save your game.

He was asked his influence to his entryinto to gamming

Yaras' Revenge (Atari 2600) was directly responsible for my gaming addiction. It was the best birthday gift ever.

As for passion for MMOs... The Realm got me started, Ultima Online set the hook and Everquest turned my passion into an obsession.

Super Mario RPG. Unless we're counting action RPGs, then Legend of Zelda Link to the past. Good times.

Dungeon & Dragons Hillsfar.

DurzoBlint13 · October 2016

I remember playing the original Dragon Warrior, Final Fantasy and Crystalys way-way-way back when.

arrowzagub17_ESO · October 2016

Hmm I would have to say it was Ultima I Back in like 1982 or 1981. it was on floppy disc.

MadLarkin · October 2016

Hard to remember back that far but I'm pretty sure it was Diablo.

hollywood · October 2016

I remember playing King's Quest on my Compaq 486 in the early 90's , don't exactly remember the year. For consoles I played a lot of the brazilian version of Wonder Boy on my Sega Master System.

ThePaleItalian · October 2016

Dragon Warrior and ShadowGate on the NES.. the list of games I still own and that still work from older systems is amazing. They don't make them like they used too.

AhPook_Is_Here · October 2016

swords of twilight, on an amiga, 16 bit!

That Wagner soundtrack is still in my head though: http://hol.abime.net/2248

Trashkan · October 2016

Breath of fire 3 that game was awesome!!!!

AfkNinja · October 2016

Final Fantasy III (aka FF 6) SNES

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.

Secret of Mana and Chrono Trigger were 2 of my other favorites. I just could not get into secret of evermore though. Ff 2 was also great. Dragon warrior 4 on nes was my favorite of that series.

Nice, I have never read the thread - I was thinking that it was very offensive because of the title.
