The 80s & 90s were the best for RPGs As they left a lot to the imagination I liked Zelda Secret of mana Baulders gate I played a lot of D&D as a kid and collected Warhammer figures Great time to be a kid Title: Re: Your favorite RPGs from the late 80s or early 90s Post by: VertexGuy on April 22, 2014, 07:38:05 pm (http://www.gamesniped.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/lucasfilm-loom-boxed-talkie-cd-rom-game-sealed.jpg) I played this for the turboduo when it came out.. still have it.

I loved D&D... I loved Car Wars... You ever heard of Car Wars??? Man that was so epic (https://a248.e.akamai.net/media.pinterest.com.s3.amazonaws.com/736x/a7/60/d7/a760d7553e21ea6d85e0e24829ed6c08.jpg) Title: Re: Your favorite RPGs from the late 80s or early 90s Post by: Chuckie egg on April 23, 2014, 01:51:15 am Car wars was awesome

Legacy of the Ancients on Commodore 64 Earthbound on Super Nintendo Phantasy Star 2 on Sega Genesis Spellcaster on Sega Master System Auto Duel on Commodore 64 Pen and paper is AD&D Call of Cthulhu Star Trek Marvel Super Heroes Price of Freedom Title: Re: Your favorite RPGs from the late 80s or early 90s Post by: VertexGuy on April 24, 2014, 02:32:32 am I was on a bike or skateboard somewhere or at a party lol.
Title: Re: Your favorite RPGs from the late 80s or early 90s Post by: BloodyCactus on April 24, 2014, 08:03:39 am legacy of the ancients was fun. I think it was the second last game to use that engine. Legacy of Blacksilver was the last, and imo better of the two. rumours of a third never turned out. (LOA/LOB/LOC!)
I liked Questron 2 probably more than the others but Legend of Blacksilver was good too, I think it was the only one of them all (questron 1,2, ancients, blacksilver) not made by the same people, and it shows. Lot more refinements in the Q2 engine.

Suikoden is my all time favorite RPG series but it started in 1995 I think.
Title: Re: Post by: Tighe on May 04, 2014, 06:05:34 pm Star Control 2 is an epic game! Never really considered it a RPG, You can play it on PC and android now as the source code was released open source, but they Fred Ford and Paul had to change the name to Ur-Quan Masters because they sold the name.
Also, my favorite RPGs back then were: Sword of Vermilion (Genesis - by Yu Suzuki) Luna the silver Star (Sega CD) Phantasy Star (master system) Super Mario RPG Shadow Gate Earthbound Title: Re: Your favorite RPGs from the late 80s or early 90s Post by: airsoftmodels on May 07, 2014, 11:12:56 am I had Ultima III and Ultima IV for the Apple //c, but I think Wizardry started it all in 1981!
Title: Re: Your favorite RPGs from the late 80s or early 90s Post by: P-feif on May 07, 2014, 03:04:03 pm Not really into the RPG's too much but I had one for my Playstation I that I reall liked. It was called Gardians Crusade. That's the only video game that I have ever compleated.

I almost forgot about Sword of Vermilion. Title: Re: Post by: DaCord421 on September 10, 2016, 10:24:26 pm I beat that game so much that if I ever played it again, I won't need the maps and guide for the game.
