[ZargonX]

-Fallout 2
-Wasteland (just gets better with age!)
-Wizardry VII
-Ultima VII parts 1+2
-Chrono Trigger

[jdd2007]

never played any...

[Standup]

Baldur's Gate 1+ 2 - I think 2 is the better game but i remember just going wow when playing 1

Fallout 1+2 after the patches

Arcanum - a bit unbalanced but full of choices.

Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny+Shadows Over Riva. played on the amiga originally but i just remember really enjoying them.

Honourable mentions for Eye if the Beholder, Bards Tale. Very dated and very much of their time.

[LDiCesare]

Nethack (very deep)
Arcanum (for the role playing options)

Others I played aren't worth listing because they were not up to the expectation (includes Baldur's Gate, Morrowind and DiabloII)

[Grumbold]

Fallout(s)
Planescape: Torment
Baldurs Gate 2
Arcanum (definitely #1 for roleplaying options)
Wizardry 8
Morrowind

Classics of their time:
Bards Tale series
Ultima 1-7
Ultima Underworld 1&2
Elder Scrolls: Arena & Daggerfall
Eye of the Beholder series
Realms of Arkania series
Wizardry 1-7
Might & Magic 1-4 (5+ less well thought of)

Hack'n'Slash fests which still get branded as roleplaying because they have swords and spells in:
Diablo 1&2
Dungeon Siege
Divine Divinity

[Jamski]

Pool of Radiance
Curse of the Azure Bonds
Secret of the Silver Swords (?)
Pool of Darkness

Those old SSI games really rocked.

[Verto]

Final Fantasy III (released as FFVI in Japan) should be topping everyone's RPG list. Still better than the other games in the FF series, better than most newer games - they just can't hold their own against it. I still remember when I first beat FFIII.

And who can forget Zork I,II,III and beyond? Truly, classics.

Diablo II was fun
Zelda(NES & SNES) was great
An RPG for PS1 that I forget the name of - King's Quest __ or something like that
Morrowind
Many others I can't remember

[DarkCloud]

1. Baldur's Gate
2.
3.
4.
5. Kings Quest V (although it's an adventure)

I'd say neverwinter nights- but I have a defective CD so it won't run... and I've played many of the old DarkSun games, but they were really sub-par.

I have also palyed a few smaller games that Ireally can't remember the neames of... Baldur's gate is the only one (produced in the past 5 years) that I have enjoyed and it's really good!

[Verto]

Just curious, what sets Baldur's Gate apart from the others?

[DarkCloud]

Because Baldur's Gate actually runs!
Most of the old RPGs (especially D&D ones) from 1990-1996 were trashy games that crashed a lot, didn't play well, were cheaply made, etc.

Before 1990 there were a few games... and I should probably add the shareware game "Moraff's World"as my second favorite- it's by Steve Moraff and is one of the best old RPG's.

Other good games that I never played (so I can't rate them)
Pool of Radiance, The Bard's Tale, etc.

I didn't start buying computer games until 1992... so my ratings are a bit skewed to games newer than 1990... although I have a PET 1979 machine that runs some really old dos games like cat, frogger, etc. I never got any advanced PET games... and I had a 1986 macintosh, but never had any games other than the style of "ghostbusters" and "beachhead"

[Dis]

I remember beachead, and beachhead II.
