Old(er) PC RPGs?


Recommended Posts

Looking for older PC Role Playing Games.

Perspective (2D/3DFP/3DTP) doesn't matter. Sub-Genre doesn't matter (Console-Style, PC-Style) Age matters a little, would like the game to be post-1992.

I've played:

Fallout

Deus Ex 1/2

Baldur's Gate

NoX

Wizardry Series

Kings Quest Series

Ultima Series

Final Fantasy VII/VIII

Diablo 1/2

Planescape Torment

Darkstone

System Shock 1/2

Icewind Dale Series

Elder Scrolls 1/2/3 + Redguard

All Emulation RPGs (That I can find...)

Anyone have a good suggestion? I'd kinda like to see a Console style rpg... turnbased maybe?

Try Laxius Power or Laxius Power 2

If you really want to go back in time - a lot of SSI's RPGs from the 80's were pretty enjoyable. I don't know how many of them were released on the PC though - those were still primarily Apple & Commie days.

Questron II is great. The old SSI Gold Box & Buck Rodgers games were enjoyable.

Also, Legacy of the Ancients, and Legend of Blacksilver.

To me at least, these all still stand the test of time beautifully. ^_^

The old Starflight games are also wonderful. I can't think of too much post-'92 off the top of my head that hasn't been mentioned or you haven't played.

you can get the exult emulator if you have these games and play them on a windows based system

yes yes. especially the D&D ones. I had a Ravenloft one and another one called Menzoberranzan

both good games for the time. I think the ravenloft one was the first rpg i played that had the npc's actually speak to you via voice actors. i was impressed! lol

I liked Legacy of the Ancients.

Definitely a classic - along with the Gold Box games.

Wow though - I noticed Fallout 2 wasn't on the list. It's a must play! Ten times better than the first, IMHO!

Another great must-play - but another 80's one is, of course, Wasteland too!

Might and Magic is really good, to bad they screwed it up at the end.

Wizardry series is also good.

Really old school if you can find them:

Bard's Tale

Dungeon Keeper 1 and 2 (I think that's whats it called)

There was also a german 3 game release darn it...can't remember what the series was called. :(

Also, semi-current:

Arx Fatalix

Arcanium

Gothic 1 and 2
