General Zot Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 Anyone know of any (still playable) great RPGs that might have slipped through the net of public notice? I was thinking about picking up Wizardry 8 for some old school turn-based hardcore fantasy RPG action, but started thinking maybe there is more out there than I know. Here's the best semi-recent RPGs I could think of (meaning they work natively under Win9x kernal): * Baldur's Gate games * Planescape:Torment * Fallout games * Wizardry 8 ? * Arcanum ? * others?!? ANd yes, Diablo isn't in that list on purpose 8) (not really an old school RPG) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Monkey Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 I really, really liked Arcanum and played through it a couple times. I loved Fallout, too, but, like others on the list, I don't think we can fairly say that it slipped through the net! -j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Zot Posted September 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2003 Hehe, maybe slipped through the net isn't the right wording. Because if ever there was an underground RPG, it's Baldur's Gate II. No one has ever heard of that one :roll: I guess I meant great RPGs that are still natively playable on Windows machines but are either past their prime or mostly unknown. So Zork, Ultima III, and Questron are right out (although still beloved.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted September 26, 2003 Report Share Posted September 26, 2003 True RPG that really slipped through the net Arx Fatalis. Fantastic first person adventure with a good story and great play mechanics. Due out for the Xbox in November as well. Also wanted to add Gothic and its sequel Gothic 2. Both of which are the spiritual cousins to Morrowind as they are huge, open ended and happen to have a better combat system . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ktulu Posted September 30, 2003 Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 I have to find myself a copy of wizardry 8. Crusaders of the Dark Savant is one of my favorite games of all time but for some reason I never picked up wizardry 8. Think it was because it was delayed for so long I just forgot about it.
