The first Fantasy Star (Lassic rules!) was my first electronic RPG. Arena: The Elder`s Scrolls was another great game too.

My first console rpg was Shining Force for the Sega. My first crpg was one of the SSI gold box D & D games, I can't remember which one though

My first RPG would have to be D&D around 1980. It might also have been Runequest, I don't quite remember. The first CRGP was either "The hobbit" or something roughly similar on a ZX Spectrum around 1985. The one's I remember well from those early days were "Zork", "Hitchhikers guide" and "Planetfall" on the PC (purely text) and later "Bards tale" on the Commodore Amiga.

Word! I loved that game. That was my second RPG. I liked the Darkside of Xeen a bit better but, it was all in the same game, basically. I still play it now and again, even if the graphics are horrid compared to games like BG2, and Morrowind. I just loved some of the sound effects in the game-like the ninja attack in the winter area. I also liked the bazarre creatures like Flying Feet and Carnage Hands. Classic!

7th Saga was a good game, though I was never able to finish

nor was i, the damn dwarf in the castle is too much... you can only use your main char, and he's the bloody robot thingy that can't lower the dwarfs uber defense so it's a stand-mate for me..

first CRPG was prolly zelda 1 on NES...

IIRC it's called the World of Xeen - a CD where you get Clouds of Xeen and Dark side of Xeen on a CD. You also get extra game called Swords of Xeen

Yeah, I knew that. The swords were horrible, though. It was obvious that they just glued together a bunch of graphics, threw in some random plot and that was that. Besides the game had plenty of bugs in it, and often crashed towards the end of the game. I forgive them for this joke of an addition because the world of xeen was just classic.

Yep a real horror while you require lots of healing on final levels

Not to mention laser gun and laser rifle for weapon ?

Oo-er, my first RPG was called Moraff's World - which actually had pretty great graphics for its time. On my ancient old Amstrad PC1640...

Then after that when I got my 386 I was introduced to a game called Moria, which was like a super-refined version of NetHack (probably the oldest RPG I've ever played, but not the first) and from then on I was hooked. Many others swiftly followed. Swiftly? Ha. I must've played Moria for at least two years. No kidding...and I still never managed to kill that $*%& Balrog

The first one was a game called "Dark Dungeons" for the Commodore C64.

My first PC RPG was Ultima 6, followed by Martian Dreams and Savage Empire, both games were based on the Ultima 6 engine.

A long time later Master of Magic (a strategy / RPG mix based on Civilization 1) became one of my all time favorite games.

My first AD&D based games were Spelljammer and Dark Sun.

Been playing PnP AD&D for some years then.

Long time thereafter Bioware really brought AD&D back to the computer game scene with BG 1 ...
