If you heretics want to disregard the awe-inspiring and inspirational Final Fantasy III that's fine -- but don't blame me if you end up in the wrong place after death.

Two favorites:
Harnmaster/Harnworld for its incredible level of detail in portraying a medieval-like fantasy world.
Empire of the Petal Throne for the brilliant setting (and it was the first RPG I ever played - way back in 1975)."Stuie has the right idea" - Japher

Mr. Fun: Yeah FF III is easly the best computer RPG in regards to story. But if you want pure strategy then Final Fantasy Tactics easily beats it (and everything else I've played) although the story is pathetic...Stop Quoting BenComment

I don't like D&D for the stereotypical characters. It's hard to create your own.
That's why I like Rolemaster a lot. You can have a fighting mage. Of course he will be inept at fighting, but he can do stuff which a magic user is not expected to, and the critical tables are fun.
The Chaosium games (Call of Cthulluh, Stormbringer, ...) were great too. In particular, the deadly combat system was interesting, as it would make you think before fighting even a small monster.
Paranoia deserves a special mention.
My favourite game was actually a little known fame called 'Malefices', in which our GM hid so many of the rules that it was all down to roleplaying. When you roll the dice and have no idea what the effect will be, it can be really fun.Clash of Civilization team member

The ones that stick out for me...
MERP- because it had such excellent add-ons and expansion packs. Good character creation and combat system too.
Bushido- Tremendous character creation (took a good two hours to create a character) and really immersive setting.
Traveller- The basic game was nothing special, but all those expansion packs really fleshed it out.
Call of Cthulhu- My favourite. About as difficult as trying to lick your own anus, with characters going insane all the time, but that was just part of the fun.The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil FinlandComment

monolith94, I never played that game -- the latest and last Final Fantasy title I ever played was Final Fantasy VII, which was a well-done RPG.
Oh -- I loved Final Fantasy Tactics.Originally posted by Boshko

FF Tactics Rocked! So did Chrono Trigger!
I too like AD&D 2nd Ed. over the others, and White Wolf did create a very fun world (I liked MAGE the best), but I had some issues with the Dots thing...Comment

but than, it took everyone else ~ 1 hour (and none of us had a clue abotu the rules and most of us didn't know much about RPGS to start with)

FF Tactics did rock.Comment

Personally, I preferred an often overlooked Tactics Ogre to FF tactics.
Graphics were not near as good, but actual gameplay was far better IMO.One who has a surplus of the unorthodox shall attain surpassing victories. - Sun Pin

I loved Ogre Battle -- but when I rented Tactics Ogre to see if I like it, I thought it SUCKED.A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.Comment

It started slow, but when you got through the initial story/tutorial and into the actual storyline, it was quite good.
