That reminds me of Lufia. It was a good game, but I never beat it because the encounter rate was so freakin' high! I seem to recall that it was more reasonable in the dungeons, but on the overworld, you couldn't walk more than maybe five or ten steps without getting attacked.

I gotta say, Secret of Mana...... What a game....

I remember playing it for hours..... Still have been actually.... Emulators, where would the world be without them.:eek:

Im just about to enter the Mana Fortress, for any of you that remember that is like the last part of the game..... I had forgotten how long the game is.....:)

The final dungeon for Lufia was AWSOME though.. I mean I still play the game trying to be uber dungeon pwnzor.

FPS FTW. :P

I used to play Team Fortress Classic mod for Half-life (none of that counter-strike crap). Then I started on Unreal Tournament 2003, and ended first on the Jolt UK 1v1 Ladder tournament (which I held 12 consecutive victories). Then I got knocked from the top, and in an angry (childish) fit of rage turned to Diablo II.

Everything ends with Diablo II.....

The amount of LAN's i have had where that is the game that is played last is untrue....

And you always seem to start from the beginning each time....

Well its good to see you turned from you FPS life...... Sad that you had to have one tho...

The Lufia series

-All- of the Final Fantasy series, especially 2/4

The Secret of Mana (One of my most favorite games of all time, ever, I have played it probably a hundred times from start to finish. Legend of Mana sucked.)

Crystalis. Whoever mentioned that, that game is awesome, I used to play that as incessantly as I did Secret of Mana.

Legend of Legaia

Legend of the Dragoon (don't care what you say, haters, that game was awesome to me. The storyline was gripping)

I'd have to say my top five are, in order

Secret of Mana

Final Fantasy 2(4)

Final Fantasy 3(6)

Final Fantasy 8

Final Fantasy 7

Willow' date=' [b']Final Fantasy, Zelda, Dragon Warrior I + II, Faxanadu, Crystalis, Ultima IV for NES.

FF6, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Evermore, Secret of Mana, Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, Terranigma, Ys III for SNES.

These are the ones that stick out for me growing up, at least as far as video game RPGs go.

Theres always the pen and paper gaming, as others mentioned. Call of Cthulu is great.

edit: can't forget Star Tropics for NES!

+ Avatar and Lufia. You got my favs, man.

Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, Legend of Kyrandia, Das Schwarze Auge ('the black eye', German RPG), oh and of course Fallout 2 (didn't really like the first one). Ever heard of BAT? Kind of mix between RPG and adventure. Betrayal at Krondor, anyone? Eye of the Beholder?

Some of those old-school games can be downloaded for free by now. Just google for 'abandonware'. Most of them need some tweaking to be played on today's PCs. (Like, you need to slow them down, or need DOS emulators to run them in.)

Gonna have to agree with crystalis - perhaps THE game that got me hooked on RPGs in the first place. Of course Secret of Mana, FF series (7 is my fav), and did anybody mention Gargoyle's Quest?

Think that was just on gameboy (original gameboy with the lime green screen) but it hella rocked. Nintendo used to take the cake on RPGs. Now they suck.

*sigh* Oh they days when video games had to rely on content and not just graphics...
