What was your very first RPG?

[Hutchy_Bear]

Phantasy Star 2 on the megadrive (genesis). That game was so hard it came with a free quide book.

 

[TheCameraman]

Baldurs Gate I think.

Rough start, aye?

Edit: Now that I think of it, I also played Chrono Trigger on the SNES with a friend at his place, think that would count as the first one.

Dragon Warrior (Dragon Quest in Japan), You younguns.

Damn right. That and FF1 and Ultima (can't remember which one) were some of my first RPG's. Pfft...all these scrubs and their Pokemon.

Er, well, the original Ultima came out in 1980 and even I wasn't old enough to play that. Or at least not old enough to read at the time it came out. I played Ultima 6 and 7 on the NES.

 

[Kuchinawa212]

Hmm Tales of Symphonia or Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga.

 

[Captain Pancake]

fable. oh, those were the good ol' days...

 

[Yegargeburble]

Pokemon Blue. Such an awesome game.

 

[Doomdiver]

Pokémon Blue ahh back in the day when I was about 6.

 

[Clirck]

Umm Oblivion ? I really don't know did I play Morrowind before Oblivion.

 

[bluepilot]

It was this really old game on the Amiga. I do not remember the title but I can remember that I was this prince is a castle, and you were looking from above and could only walk one floortile at a time. Mostly you had to find keys to progress to the next level, which could take hours. By today`s standards it would be boring but at the time it was completly enthralling...if only I could remember the game, any ideas?

 

[johnsom]

First I remember was ff7, although, Iam sure I played one before that

Well then those were probably the ones I played since I started my gamin on the NES. Man I remember how hard RPG's were compared to today's standards. Some of them were ludicrously hard at times...some of FF1's segments still give me bad memories.

 

[DeadlyYellow]

Pokemon Blue.

 

[Sigel]

I think it was FF7.

 

[FeralPhantom]

I know it was one of the Final Fantasy games, some number between 1 and 4, I was maybe 6-7 when I played it so I can't remember much about it.

 

[Boxmeister]

Xenosaga, but it just got so damn repetitive! Too much work and not enough continual interest. Plus the cut-scenes were like 20 minutes long.

 

[kill-all-kittens]

Shining Force II on the Megadrive, there were some amazing 16 bit RPG's, well worth a revisit.

 

[RazielDethAngel]

Legend Of Dragoon I believe it was called. Fun as hell to what I remember of it.

 

[Shock and Awe]

Probably Pokemon Red

 

[squid5580]

Dragon Warrior (Dragon Quest in Japan), You younguns.

Mine too. Infact it was my first console game along with Zelda 2 It had Dragon in the title and a cool lookin dragon on the cover. Couldn't say no to that.

River City Ransom. Don't want RCR in your genre? Ok fine then, FF1. Both on the N8. Both awesome games where you travel around killing things that happen to pop up in your face while learning about some baddie doing something you'd rather they didn't and kill your way through enough crap inside and out before levelling up your stats over the course of bloody hours and hours finding doo-dangs that give you new abilities and finally facing a big bad prick and save the princess or in RCR's case, some chick.
