Bard's Tale 1 - Tales from the Unknown: 8/10 points |
Far from perfect, even in its day, but it had some of the best graphics at the time, and the town and dungeons seemed eerily realistic back in the day even though they're almost laughable now. |
Bard's Tale 3 - Thief of Fate: 6/10 points |
I remember this as being rather a short game. Fun for what it was, but the formula of Bard's Tale was getting stale--it didn't have the orginality of the first or the scope of the second. |
Darklands: 9/10 points |
A near-forgotten gem. Great open-ended gameplay. Unfortunately, lots of bugs. This is one of the old school CRPGs with the most potential for a modern remake. |
Elder Scrolls 2 - Daggerfall: 9/10 points |
There was a main story? This was a world you could get lost in (in a good way) and do whatever the hell you pleased, for good or ill. Unfortunately a lot of its potential fans were too angry at the overwhelming bugs to stick around for the patches. The top dog in open-ended play. |
Planescape: Torment: 10/10 points |
The first CRPG that made me not mind reading copious amounts of text. Not just good entertainment, this is good art, too. The ending seems a little anticlimactic, but overall this is the best CRPG made to date. |
Ultima 5 - Warriors of Destiny: 9/10 points |
Perhaps the best of the early CRPGs. |
Wasteland: 8/10 points |
A great early departure from the omnipresent fantasy themes of CRPGs. |
