I remember one game on the megadrive, where you were a wizard thing...

The aim of the game was to sail about the world and collect 7 gold rings. You could have people join your party, and every fight you had loaded onto a grid...

The magic gfx was quality at the time.. just with i could remember the name.

Edit - Rings of Power... pure class.

Ultima V, was my first RPG.
On the Apple computer, at the local Library. I got so addiction to it after playing for 3 months, that that staff ban me from using the computer.
Then even after 5 years I went to the same library to see if the game was still there.

OMG Ultima 3-5!!
First MMORPG Too
UO had a 6x GM Mage before you could lock skills. Remember summoning elementals on the bank roof lol.

Ultima pioneered some of the old school RPG's. Origin was one of the best, they never should have sold.

Remember Privateer?

Hooray! I finally did it! I played The Legend of Link or Zelda or something on the NES fooking ages go as well, I think that'll count!

Ultima 7 was amazing! Though the storyline about how the bloke was playing games then found a portal outside and became your character was a bit crap...

Fuck me... Geoffrey, Dupret, and Iolo! I want to play that game again! :lol:

Felysta Sandorn (!empty($user->lang['WROTE'])) ? $user->lang['WROTE'] : ucwords(strtolower(str_replace('_', ' ', 'WROTE')))(!empty($user->lang['COLON'])) ? $user->lang['COLON'] : ucwords(strtolower(str_replace('_', ' ', 'COLON')))Oh, and I just remembered another one - Eye Of The Beholder! That MUST count! :lol:

Eye of the Beholder was a cheap knock off of Dungeon Master (AMIGA), which was my second RPG. First was Bard's Tale, anyone remember that one? My favorite RPG of all was Star Control 2, simply the best time I had in a single player game by leaps and bounds. I played it through a second time with Heather years later and even she enjoyed it!

Technically, I'm neglecting text based RPGs: Zork, Moria, and Castle. I believe Moria was the first computer RPG, I want to say I played it in the early 1980's on Dec Alpha Mainframe.

And the correct answer to:
Saltire (!empty($user->lang['WROTE'])) ? $user->lang['WROTE'] : ucwords(strtolower(str_replace('_', ' ', 'WROTE')))(!empty($user->lang['COLON'])) ? $user->lang['COLON'] : ucwords(strtolower(str_replace('_', ' ', 'COLON')))You are in a green field facing south, to the east is a paved road, to the west is a large rock, to the north is a city gate.

What do you want to do?
Sirex (!empty($user->lang['WROTE'])) ? $user->lang['WROTE'] : ucwords(strtolower(str_replace('_', ' ', 'WROTE')))(!empty($user->lang['COLON'])) ? $user->lang['COLON'] : ucwords(strtolower(str_replace('_', ' ', 'COLON')))I would like to walk north to the city gate.
Is:
Zork (!empty($user->lang['WROTE'])) ? $user->lang['WROTE'] : ucwords(strtolower(str_replace('_', ' ', 'WROTE')))(!empty($user->lang['COLON'])) ? $user->lang['COLON'] : ucwords(strtolower(str_replace('_', ' ', 'COLON')))You can't do that.

Yep, Bard's Tale was awesome. There was a turn based RPG on the Com 64 but I cant remember. Elite was awesome too. Although it was not turn based. Anyone remember when Wing Commander came out, it was seven 3 1/2s. Biggest game ever. lol
