Good times indeed...when RPGs were trying to be as close as possible to its P&P roots - all about options.

Not sure that I remember what was the last one that I've played that had that freedom...

I was playing Might & Magic 8: Day of the Destroyer again just yesterday. In fact, I often replay the old RPGs of the 90's because what came afterwards was less and less my type of RPG.

My younger son (11) annoyed me to no end a week ago to install Skyrim for him, so I eventually did, but after just few days of playing he decided it was lacking - go figure. Altough, tbh, I do talk with him a lot about old school RPGs, what makes them good and how they compare to P&P counterparts (which he had a chance to experience), so he knows a bit or two on the subject.

So now I'm about to install Morrowind for him (by his request), after that Might&Magic 6/7 (we played Legacy together when it came out, not very good game, but he's familiar with it) or Wizardry 8 - though, as he never played any game with party alone, I'm not sure how he'll handle it. He bugged me to play Fallout 1/2, but I'm not quite comfortable to let him delve into that just quite yet due to his age.

As for me, I'd love to revisit some of those old games and especially play some that I've missed the first time, but my backlog is just killing me.
