Yeah, I'm sure there's a topic back some pages about this, but I'm lazy, and felt special by starting my own thread.
What are your favorite, old school games?
My favorites (some more old school than others):
Sentinel Worlds I: Future Magic
Elite
Quest for Glory 1, 3, 4
Conquests of the Longbow
X-Com: UFO Defense
Comments
X-com Apocalypse
Quadalien
Citadel
Final Fantasy 7 and 9.
Those are my older favorites.
Another great example of Moore's Law. Give people access to that much space (developers and users alike) and they'll find uses for it that you can never imagine. "640K ought to be enough for anybody" - Bill Gates 1981
Elite 4's out soon
Land of legends and Lore I thought was a bit of a classic. I think I had the third one.
It was the first game to use "MMX technology" (as found on the new Pentium chips) meaning it spliced video into the rendering, so when you clicked on the NPC to talk to him it merged from rendered into video feed and back out again. There were lots of nice lore items inthe game, story stones that when you clicked on them set off a beautiful cutscene.
Really class that one.
I also enjoyed the Might and Magic RPGs. (as opposed to the turn based heroes games).
Citadel sounds a bit familar. A BBC game maybe?
Some of the D&D ones I used to really Like. Eye of the Beholder and stuff like that. I like those ones where it plays FPS but you play a party of 4 not a lone individual.
I quite liked many of the Ultima series too. Ultima Underworld being my favourite.
depends on what you call old...
Final Fantasy V and VI
Eye of the Beholder I, II, III
Dungeon Master
Bloodwish
Baldurs' gate 1 and 2
Daggerfall
not a RPG but one of my favorite oldies, Freespace, he didnt get enough love and it got an amazing story for a space game!
It's nowhere near my favorite now, but Microprose's "Darklands' got me interested in the RPG genre. I looked it up and this was in 1992.
Final Fantasy VIII, Chrono Trigger, Breath of Fire, Blue Lagoon
Going way back...
early Ultima games
Eye of the Beholder series
Stonekeep
Early Might & Magic series
Yikes those are old
Fallout
Daggerfall
Final Fantasy (the very very very first one)
my all time favorite RPGs are
legend of dragoon (#1)
FF8/10
Playing: EVE Online
Favorite MMOs: WoW, SWG Pre-cu, Lineage 2, UO, EQ, EVE online
Looking forward to: Archeage, Kingdom Under Fire 2

Baldurs Gate 1-2.
In my opinion, one of the most epic RPG's. Beautiful storytelling.
And big kudos for Planescape torment. It was like playing a book.
"The greatest trick the devil played on humanity in the 20th century was convincing them that he didn't exist." (Paraphrasing) C.S. Lewis
"If a mother can kill her own child, what is left before I kill you and you kill me?" -Mother Teresa when talking about abortion after accepting the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979
Final Fantasy, a great, of course, old game I like so much
I forgot about the might and magic games. I was always partial to their turn-based cousins, but they were pretty entertaining also.
Elite 4 soon? I thought I read that it wasnt going to be developed until after some current project was wrapped up, and that isn't supposed to be until next year.
Lufia 2: Rise of the sinistrals
Secret of Mana
Final Fantasy 7
Suikoden 2
Chrono Cross
Phantasy Star II and IV
Lunar series on Sega CD
Panzer Dragoon Saga
Final Fantasy 3 and Chrono Trigger on SNES
Buck Rogers and Land Stalker on the Genesis
Does Adventure count=) I want my square block man back.
oh and completely forgot about those ones, but they deserve a mention so here it is:
Shining in the Darkness
Shining Force 1 and 2
Romancing Saga 1, 2, 3, 4, etc etc
Ogre Tactics 1, 2, 3, 4 etc
