Codex Year of the Donut
Rules for The List:
  1. No cRPGs that have released for PC.
  2. cRPGs exclusive to consoles will be listed under the appropriate console platform.
  3. cRPGs available but not exclusive to consoles but not available on PC will be listed under the appropriate non-console platforms.
  4. Acceptable platforms: No PC. Platform must have been released by 1995 or earlier.
  5. The release year of the game does not matter. There are still games being made for these platforms in the style of the older games.
  6. Being available on multiple platforms is fine, as long as it doesn't break rule #1.
  7. A title being emulated on a platform does not count as a release for that platform.
  8. It must be a cRPG.

Games marked with '*' are games with a shiny codex seal of approval(read: if you think a game is good, please say so and I'll mark it as such.)
Games marked with '#' are games your curator thought looked interesting and/or good and probably worth your time.

Games excluded for various reasons from The List. Typically, because it's not an RPG. Want to dispute it? Mention it in a reply. This list also exists to remind myself as to why/what I excluded.

  • Catacomb (1992) (Amiga) -- Adventure game
  • Darkmere: The Nightmare's Begun (1994) (Amiga)
  • Dragonstone (1994) (Amiga) -- Seems more like a Zelda-ish game

  • Immortal, The (1990) (Amiga) -- Action/Puzzle game
  • Inherits of the Throne (1992) (Commodore 64) -- Not a cRPG
  • Kargon (1996) (Amiga) -- Not a cRPG

Added some more titles. This one caught my eye.

Argus was released in 2017 for the Commodore 64.
https://psytronik.itch.io/argus
ARGUS is a stunning role playing adventure for the Commodore 64. Explore the lands of Argus that span 1500 locations on your quest to find and free the captured Starchild. ARGUS was programmed by Achim Volkers with gfx / design by Trevor Storey and atmospheric soundtracks by Saul Cross.

Added a bunch of games to the Commodore section.

Let me know of cRPGs that I'm missing.
If you've played any games I've listed and thought they were good, let me know so I can mark them.
Let me know of cRPGs that fall under List #2 and why, this one is going to be a pain to fill out.

More for the Ultima fans on the Apple II, both from 1990(? 1989?), both developed by John Carmack.
Kinda surprised there's no LP videos for Shadowforge or Wraith

Two more Ultima-likes, this time for the Amiga.

Antepenult, this one seems to be quite rare.


Zerg


I don't believe these were available on any other platforms.

The Trapped Series, Amiga Ultima clones, very clunky.
In the different department, there's Elvira. The DOS and the Amiga/ST versions both have different soundtracks, and there's a C64 version, which I believe is made in a different engine. There's no real reason to play the C64 version AFAIK, its just interesting to witness.
