What is a CRPG?

computer role-playing game, the term is usally used to refer to oldshool PC RPGs these days to seperate them from today's action RPGs and JRPGs, SRPGs, TRPGs and roge-likes. 

 

The RPG genre's naming conventions are weird

...that has to be one of the dumbest acronymns I've ever heard.  I can at least understand things like SRPG, JRPG, TRPG, and WRPG but now we're classifying them based on platform?  I can't wait until someone releases a CTSWRPG.

well when oldschool RPGs were new the term was used to differentiate them from pen and paper RPGs then it made more sense, but as the term stuck to that style of game now it's stupid lol
