Nostalgic RPG Trip and the Power of Imagination
43#oldschoolrpg #rpg #crpg
The old CRPG's and JRPG's of yesteryear in the 80s and 90s really made us use our imagination, someone recently commented their first experience in Ultima 1, and it got me thinking about the state of the RPG genre, and I realized something profound : Our use of our imagination is explicitly unnecessary these days due to graphical advances in technology. So today, join me as I take a trip down memory lane on the RPG goodies of a long time since passed and talk about them and how things of changed. Of course you can expect some Dungeons & Dragons talk since it IS the granddaddy of all RPG history after all. Please enjoy!
A role-playing video game (commonly referred to as simply a role-playing game or an RPG as well as a computer role-playing game or a CRPG) is a video game genre where the player controls the actions of a character (and/or several party members) immersed in some well-defined world. Many role-playing video games have origins in tabletop role-playing games (including Dungeons & Dragons) and use much of the same terminology, settings and game mechanics. Other major similarities with pen-and-paper games include developed story-telling and narrative elements, player character development, complexity, as well as replay value and immersion. The electronic medium removes the necessity for a gamemaster and increases combat resolution speed. RPGs have evolved from simple text-based console-window games into visually rich 3D experiences.
