Originally posted by The Kiwi: Thanks for the answers so far. I was grown and had a couple of kids before "Adult Fantasy" caught my attention, which was a few years before the advent of the original D & D, which I also got involved in for several years after the kids were somewhat bigger. My all-time favorite game would be a multi-place tie between half a dozen Gold Box games and Might and Magic's sixth CRPG. I really prefer the turn-based mode over any other. [q] Lord of the Rings was the trilogy that literally moved Fantasy off the Fairy Tales for children shelf into the (more or less) mainstream of fictional literature. Prior to the bootlegged Ace paperbacks' reissue of LOTR in the 1960's, I'd only occasionally picked up copies of F&SF magazine, and read some of those stories, after LOTR, I added the magazine IF and several others that featured fantasy writing to my regular reading schedule. [/q] I'm not sure that I ever acquired a copy of Diablo to test it. Generally, I've been unimpressed with the adventure game variety that console players have been calling "RPG's", and it seems to me now that I classified Diablo with Final Fantasy and its ilk. Am I misjudging it?

Does that added second paragraph clarify anything?
