imagine this: a gaming nuclear holocaust is happening, all games that have ever been made will perish. but you have been granted the divine power to save 6 RPGs, because RPGs are god's chosen genre of games.
you have to choose 5 RPGs, whichever you like, plus your favorite Gold Box game. why the Gold Box RPG? because god said so.
choose wisely and if there is a special reason why you chose this game (apart from: it's fun) then name that reason!
---> EDIT: talking about computer RPGs !!! <---
---> EDIT 2: list of Gold Box RPGs in spoiler !!! <---
my pick:
Temple of Elemental Evil
imo pretty much the perfect roleplaying game. there's not a single thing that I don't love about this game.
Wizardry 6, Wizardry 7, Grimoire
they're triplets you can't seperate them! you can? duh, then my choice goes to Wizardry 7. the best games the blobber subgenre has to offer and imo Wiz 7 might quite possibly be the best RPG ever made.
Prelude to Darkness
clunky, buggy but oh so great. outstanding atmosphere, nice plot with lots of C&C. I also can't get tired of hearing that soundtrack.
Daggerfall
a LARPers wet dream. who cares if you're an unemployed fat slob living in the basement of your mothers house, while her corpse is rotting upstairs, when you're saving money to buy that one big mansion in Wayrest/wherever??
Ultima 6
RPG-lite, but I like the general mood. and the soundtrack is glorious. this isn't one of my favorite RPGs, but the thought of never being able to play this game again is rather painful. I have a soft spot for Ultima 6.
and my one Gold Box RPG is:
Pools of Darkness
high-level AD&D, lots of excellent combat encounters and the dormant body of Moander as part of the setting was just brilliant.
