"Now that opens a whole 'nother can of worms.
Since we all agree that TSR pretty much wrote the book on what an RPG is (literally actually)... then we certainly can't call their console or PC AD&D games RPGs either.
So, it seems to me that the definition of an RPG for a gaming machine and for a group of people getting together with some books and notebook paper are completely different? Right?"
I think they called them both D & D rpgs, so they might have been mixing the genres themselves. Also there were other games that SSI put out that were also counted like Hillsfar where you completed mini action games to build up stats for your characters in the more turn based module type PC games and Dragon Flight which was a Dragon flight simulator like Panzer Dragoon, Lair, Drakken, and Drakengard where they tried to simulate dragons the way they were portrayed in the Monster Manuals in the world of Krynn that came with some nifty postcards with all of the dragons on them.
