What game did you lose your RPG virginity to?

It was Bard's Tale for ZX Spectrum, because I didn't own a PC until I was 15 or so. When I finally got a 086 I could play Wizardries, Gold Box and other legendary stuff.
However I had been playing PnP RPGs already, and on the ZX Spectrum text adventures.

I am RPG houris, my RPG virginity returns to me everynight.
My first RPG was a shitty Russian Diablo clone called Konung. It had nice graphics, nice music and a Slavic/Byzantine setting was fun, but it was just a bad hack and slash.

The arcade version of Golden Axe.
I know it's not a RPG but that's the game that made me want to whack virtual lizard-men with two-handed axes.
I'm searching for a cure since then...

Not back then, but would be considered an RPG today...

Realmz & Mission Thunderbolt on a Power Macintosh 6100/66. I was sadly oblivious of the fact the machine had a DOS-compatible mode until a few years ago

My dad bought me an original Xbox with kotor and halo one day. It really changed my gaming life lol. I went from a ps2 loser to an xbox then eventual PC king. I had never played a game like kotor it was so mind blowing at the time. It had stats, gear, abilities and dialogue choices. After playing the shit out of it and kotor 2 (which is far superior) I started playing all the old RPGs I had never heard of.
Your dad must have really hated you.

Fallout. Explains why I hate every other video game with the exception of UnderRail.

If Atari 2600 'Adventure' counts, and it doesn't, then Zork and the rest of the Infocom library. If those don't count, then Wizardry I guess. Tiltowait mutha fucka.

Stonekeep. I liked it well enough, but I didn't really become hooked until the next one I got my hands on, Might and Magic 6. Must have played it for like 500 hours. Then I got my hands on Lands of Lore 1 and Betrayal at Krondor, both almost considered retro even in 1998 or so, and absolutely loved both. I wasn't very impressed with Baldur's Gate 1 that got released just as I was done with those two, maybe because it was so hyped my expectations got unrealistic.
After that I became a total slut and fucked any RPG that batted its eyelashes at me.

It was the year 1990 and I, as a 12 year boy, traveled 800km alone by the train to my brother's college. I wasn't afraid of that at all. It was an adventure. But he presented me this game Eye of the Beholder and insisted I play it. This, I was really scared of. I hade nightmares. really. Because these little buggers kept jumping into the screen without a warning, how evil they looked, how ominious the red color theme was... Everything was very atmospheric back then. Much later it became one of my dearest reruns - EOB1-2, played 6x :D

It was either Eye of the Beholder 1 or Ultima VII.
Have you tried EOB3? I think it is ok. EOB2 was my love, I didn't see the first game until later. Also what do you think of Lands of Lore?It was the year 1990 and I, as a 12 year boy, traveled 800km alone by the train to my brother's college. I wasn't afraid of that at all. It was an adventure.
