Well, I'm an RPG newbie, but I"m going to have to say that "The Bards Tale" off the old commodore 64 and very text based was one of my favorites, and the game that got me hooked. As far as the techonological and graphically superior games go, I would say:
Might and Magic VII and VIII, Wizards and Warriors and Diablo. These are the only ones I've played to be honest. Would love to hear some suggestions.

Daahhh! Thanks Tananda.

Daggerfall and Arena are also at the very top of my list [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hi!
I must put in my vote for BG ToSC. Considering the age of that game the graphics were stunning and the plot unrivalled. Even more so if you take in account how the BGII and the Throne of Bhaal continues the saga.

If you go way back... I enjoyed playing Eye of the Beholder a lot on my 286 12Mhz comp [img]smile.gif[/img]

I really like Wizards and warriors, I like the original Dragon Warrior also, it was the first rpg i ever played, and star ocean is another good one i like.

My favorites (in no particular order and taking into account the timeframe in which I played them)

Pool of Radiance (Gold Box)
Ultima Underworld
Ultima VII : The Black Gate
Might & Magic 6
Planescape: Torment
Wizards & Warriors

Two that are not on this list yet, but I am certain will be:

Baldur's Gate 2
Wizardry 8

My favourite Rpg games are a toss up between Pools of Radiance and the whole eye of the beholder set,talkin C64 here fellas and gals.
I totally enjoyed Dark Sun and am fast becoming a big fan of this marvellous game. I hope to soon experience Baldurs gate and as of the new Pools of radiance I read that it was a dud.

interesting, too bad i don't really have a good computer to play some of those games, so i'm going to have to wait a while for some money, and i'll have to wait till i get out of high school (yr 12 next yr), then rpg fun time [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hmm...

I started with Might & Magic I, so that's one of my favorites... Can't play it any more -- too hard, and I lost all my maps :-(

MM6 is the best of the MM series IMHO.

Wizardry 7, Bard's Tale II and III, Ultima III, other MMs all rank up there with me, roughly in that order. I'll put W&W before Wiz7, but after MM6.

<duplicate snipped - sorry>

Ultima 3, my first. And Bards Tale. (Loved that room with the 4 * 99 berserkers, using 2 mages with mind blade and a bard with a frost horn ;)

the first rpg i played was an old amiga game called "the bards tale" and then i went to the destiny knight (bards tale 2) witch i think even though its slow bad graphics (although good for its time) it was the most challenging and therefore the best game ive played
