| What is the 1st RPG game you've ever played? |
|
Advanced Dungeons & Dragons on Intellivision console is probably mine if I remember correctly...maybe Swords & Serpents on same console also...
So what old game got you into the RPG's realm?

Wow, come to think of it, that was probably my first one as well!
Horrible game by any modern standard, but it had to all start somewhere. Sure loved it back then, that's for sure ='.'=
i played Ultima VI later on, on some 486 with about ten huge floppy disks at my Uncle's house, that was what I consider my first real RPG. Now that was a cool game, Id still prolly play it if I got my paws on a copy. My Aunt & Uncle horrible at it and bet me I couldnt beat it since they were getting nowhere with it, you know, being hippies who had no idea how to play an RPG at all. Strictly Mah Johnng or whatever. I played Ultima just about every night for weeks and beat it, then collected my hundred bucks.
Good ol Sherry the Mouse is one of my all time fave party members!
Cool name BTW, Vempire is my favorite Cradle cd. Queen of Winter Throned is their best song ever IMHO

It just gave me the chills to see that cartridge box again...
Afterwards I really enjoyed NES ZeldaII: Adventure of link...
I think that's really the game that got me hooked on RPGs, but it was not the first.
P.S. Yeah Cradle of filth rocks...

I guess Atari's "Adventure" isnt realy an RPG, so my first RPG I played on the computer was "Phantasie" by SSI. While it is not much of a game by today's standards, I still have fond memories of creating a minotaur warrior and pixie theif for my party.

Dragon Warrior(Quest) for 8bit NES in 1988 or 1989. I still love that series to this day. I can't wait to play Dragon Quest8 on PS2. I think this is why I love Wizardry. The designer loved Wizardry and always tried to incorporate some of Wizardry's play mechanics.

If you are counting old console games, then yes, Adventure on the Atari, and AD&D on the Intellivision, were my first (not sure if Adventure is a RPG or not. I dont really think so). I also had this little handheld AD&D game that had you hunt down a dragon.
My first REAL RPG was Wizardry I - Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord. I remember when I first saw that in the store, and got it home to play on my IBM PCjr. I was a PnP player at the time (although only about 15 years old), but getting a group of others to play was very difficult, so when givien the chance to play with a party, but by myself, in Wizardry, I was AMAZED and HOOKED for life.
Around the same time, I played Ultima III, but my real love was for the Wizardry series. I never really gave any of the Ultima games a chance, and to this day, never really played any of them (although I do OWN them all, between the Ultima Collection, The Ultimate RPG Collection, and having UU1 and UU2 from way back) |

Dragon Warrior on the NES was my first. When I was fighting the final boss, my wife walked in, looked at the static photo that served as the graphical representation of all that is evil and said, "That's it? You've been playing this game for two weeks straight so you could fight Puff the Magic Dragon? " It's true. The final boss looked like a little green dragon with his head stretched into the air puffing a tiny plume of fire skyward. It was a flat, static photo on a black background. When I hit it, the screen would flash: that was the graphical representation of my mighty strikes. But you know how it is: in my mind's eye, I was battling a fierce monstrosity.
A week after beating Dragon Warrior, I picked up the first Final Fantasy and have been hooked on RPGs ever since.

If you count Quest For Glory 1, or Hero's Quest as it was, as an RPG then it is so. Otherwise, it's shameful, but I can't remember. Maybe MM3.

I used to watch my dad play some old RPGs and would play them myself once in awhile. Things like Bards Tale, Curse of the Azure Bonds, Pool of Radiance, things like that. The first Rpg I played solely by myself that got me hooked was Baldur's Gate. Needless to say, I've far surpassed my father in gaming skill now.

Glorious, glorious Ultima 5. I should play it again. I loved my magic throwing axes.
