cimerians Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Just curious to read through some lists here. I think mine was Ultima 3 (C64) and then possibly either Dragon Warrior 1 or FF7. Does Zelda count? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genesisguy Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Unless Zelda counts none. Does GTA San Andreas count? I've tried them in 8-bit and 16-bit forms and they bore me to no end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I shied away from RPG's in the Apple 2 days (Wizardy, Ultima, etc.) because I just didn't get them as a child. The first RPG I ever beat was in the console days and it was the original Phantasy Star on the SMS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagitekAngel Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) I wouldn't count Zelda, so for me, I'm going to have to say. . . Pokemon Blue? I enjoy, collect, and play RPGs of all shapes and sizes, but I have a habit of not beating them. Example: in Final Fantasy VII, I've done nearly all the game, I've leveled up my doods, I've done most of the sidequests and everything, but I haven't gone after the WEAPONs yet, or fought Sephiroth. I tend to max these games out then simply not beat them. Edited April 13, 2012 by MagitekAngel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennybingo Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Ultima II - C64 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxpressed Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I *think* I beat Tunnels of Doom on my TI 99/4A. I *know* I beat Ultima III on my IBM PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyHW Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) Phantasy Star - SMS. Edited April 13, 2012 by BillyHW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skarrj Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Either Dragon Warrior or the First Final Fantasy. Id say maybe adventure on atari but I cant remember if I actually ever finished it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Jesus Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 That would be Pool of Radiance on the C64 for me. Loved that game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Dart Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Oregon Trail? Or Super Mario RPG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulBlazer Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Dragon Warrior, 1987, brand new game, beat at the tender age of 11. Mind you, that wasn't the first RPG I PLAYED....just the first one I actually finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychedelicShaman Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Dragon Warrior 1, which I believe is the first RPG I ever played too. Recently went back and max leveled, the DragonLord went pretty easily:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 That was the Bard's Tale on the C64. I also beat the second one, but somewhere lost interest in one of the 80+ dungeons of the third Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galeforcerm Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Pokemon red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbd30 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Probably "Final Fantasy II" on the SNES. Or "The Legend Of Zelda" if that counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roland p Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 SD Snatcher. Probably the only RPG I like... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Probably Bard's Tale on my Apple II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrorussell Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Zelda, then probably Zelda II or Dragon Warrior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyHW Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Does Zelda really count? I think not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Dart Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Does Zelda really count? I think not. Sort of. It DOES allow for more role-play than games that simply hand you a role, like Final Fantasy 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almost Rice Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Ultima 3 Atari 800xl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Dragon Warrior on the NES, followed by Final Fantasy on the NES. Zelda and Zelda II came prior, but I don't consider those RPGs. More-so action-adventure games, if you have to give them a label (Zelda II obviously veering far from the "adventure" part). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Fun to read through what was the first RPG you beat and got a CONGRATULATIONS...END Credit or just a "Thank You for playing" Zelda is getting some strikes. Is Diablo an RPG? Tempest has a Gemstone Warrior avatar...Diablo-like gameplay if I remember. Thats another debatable one since its just a Rogue like dungeon crawl. I personally think it is because you have stats, hit-points and you level up in the traditional D&D method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKC Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) I don't play RPGs but even I gave Final Fantasy VII a try and beat it back in the day. Edited April 13, 2012 by GKC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireStar Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) Pokemon Silver, in fact until I started emulating games and beat Eathbound (not sure if completed zero or 1 first), all the RPGs I beat were Pokemon games.
