Ancient Games And So Forth

[Neutral Calypso]

So there I was. Upset with Planetside 2 for all the annoying crap I'd put up with, and honestly kinda burned out from playing the same game for a good 3 and a half months straight.

Needed something different...

So what do I do?

I make a list of 30ish computer-based RPGs to roll through, then I arrange them in order by release date.

First one on the list?

The Elder Scrolls: Arena.

The game that started it all... holy crap.
Considering it was made in 1994, I am somewhat impressed. Truthfully, Doom had better graphics, but I doubt the devs had much time to examine Doom before they came out with this intriguing game.

It certainly tells a tale of a bygone era of gaming... an era where a player might want to keep a notebook handy to jot down clues with a real pen.

I have only just started the game, but am already finding it rather fascinating and look forward to reforging the Staff of Chaos to free the Emperor.

Anyone else got any archaic games they love and wish to share?
