[Necro Master]

1. Keef the Thief: This is only one I played through to the end twice. Some funny text descriptions on things made it a bit amusing to play.

2. Four Crystals of Trazere: AKA Legend. Liked this one a lot, especially how the forces of chaos would get stronger as the game progressed and take over towns which meant you couldn't visit them. This meant you had to do more than just go questing, you had to either spend coin to help the soldiers or directly attack the chaos armies yourself.

3. Robinson's Requiem: The whole survival aspect frustrated a lot of people, but I liked it. Can't imagine a game based around survival and this unforgiving being made today.

4. The Elvira series: Liked them all, but I think the one set in the castle had the right amount of creepiness/isolation along with the combat. The movie studio was more of a monster bashfest due to all the combat, while the one set in the English town was definitely the creepiest, but more of a graphic text adventure and had no direct combat.

5. Dungeon Master: Beat it once and enjoyed it, but didn't feel the need to play it again.

Honorable mentions

Swords Of Twilight: This one seemed pretty interesting, but the note taking it in to properly progress was pretty extensive. That still would've been tolerable, but the game had an odd control system and your movement was slower than molasses if you picked an old wizard to take with you. Still, I liked playing it from time to time.

Crystal Dragon: Another good one. Probably harder than Dungeon Master since you only got two adventurers instead of four.

Drakkhen: Never got very far in the actual adventure, but I came back to it a lot just to fight all the different monsters that the game threw at me.

1. 'Ambermoon'
2. 'King's Bounty'
(okay, primarily it's a strategy game, but also the strong role-playing game character can't be ignored)
3. 'Legend' aka 'The four Crystals of Trazere'
4. 'Eye of the Beholder II'
5. 'Bloodwych'

'Ultima VI - The False Prophet' is a great game, too - but in my opinion it's more an adventure with RPG elements than a real role-playing game, because fights with monsters are rather rare. Instead of that, your party has to travel from town to town very often and the many conversations with other characters are necessary to solve most of the problems...

In no particular order (well, alphabetically):


Ambermoon

Black Crypt

Eye of the Beholder II

Fate - Gates of Dawn

Perihelion


Some runner-ups:

Cadaver (is this an RPG?)

Darkmere (it's more of an action adventure though)

Elvira-Series including Waxworks (great but are they really RPGs?)

[Necro Master]

Other than Elvira: Personal Nightmare, I don't see why the rest of the Elvira games wouldn't be considered RPGs. You've got stats to keep track of, you level up and have experience, there's loot/equipment, the games are basically a dungeon crawl with monsters to fight, you've got some puzzles to solve and have to mix items to create spells, they're even semi-non linear with how you can finish up the games.

They pretty much hit all the basics.

[Cruiser 7]

1. Hero's Quest/Quest For Glory - The perfect melding of Point and Click adventure with an RPG. It's twenty years old and it is still one of the standards I measure all games against.

2. Keef The Thief - Great humor and fun story with passable gameplay. I like how you can combine being a fighter, thief, and magic-user in one person. Also has one of my favorite gaming soundtracks.

3. Alternate Reality - This game will always have a special place in my heart, no matter when I play it or on what computer. Such a shame the rest of the series never came to be. It has its fair share of good music, too.

4. Might and Magic II - A sweeping, grandiose, and often times frustrating RPG that may seem pretty primitive by today's standards, but it was the bomb back in the day (much like the slang I'm using). It's another game I use as a standard to compare later RPGs to.

5. Buck Rogers - Countdown to Doomsday - I like a lot of the Gold Box games, but this one is my favorite. It was a refreshing change to have a sci-fi setting instead of all of the medieval fare.

Honorable mentions:

Megatraveller 2
Wizardry VI
Gateway to the Savage Frontier
