The first RPGs I played were all during the Video Game Crash years. I didn't have a computer, but some of my friends did and we'd play Ultima 2 or Wizardry 1 & 2 together. We also spent a lot of time playing some RPG on the C64 that I can't remember the name of. I loved all of these RPGs and wished I had a computer so that I could play them on my own.
The first RPG that I actually owned and completed was Dragon Warrior. After that I tried to get just about every RPG I could find on the NES: Final Fantasy, Ultima 3 & 4, Wizardry, etc...
RPGs became my favorite genre for decades, but I don't seem to like most of the modern ones.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
