OK as an oldie I can remember playing with pen and paper so for traditional roleplaying:
1. Runequest, more accurate combat and very different feel to AD&D
2. AD&D, the first and best?
3. Tunnels & Trolls, great for encouraging creative thinking as it was very unrestrictive and excellent solo books.
For Computer RPGs
1. Any Black Isle game, best so far BG2
2. Eye of the Beholder series, played these on an Amiga!
3. Ultima series
4. Deus Ex, superb cross of stealth-em-up, shooter and RPG
5. Final Fantasy 7, a brilliant story with some extremely moving moments. Better than 8
If you are not familiar with some of the older titles, ask your dad!
I would love to play a superhero RPG in the vein of champions on the PC, with the sort of depth that Black Isle manage. What do you think?
