Meanwhile i found a video of mandragore on a TO7 , that pretty neat. TO7 were french computers installed in schools after an extremely expensive governement plan, of course completely outdated when the schools received them.More or less comparable to a C64, an inferior machine still on every aspects.

Ubisoft and Activision are probably the oldest gaming companies still going on right now. It's both scary and weird.

Meh, it felt like one for me at the time, and it was my first.

First pic is Twinsey's Odissey.
thank you sir. is it good?
the worth of this thread would elevate if the posters included the name and playability of the game.

It is, sometimes a bit bullshit but fun and very different adventure game.
this is my first rpg:
i played dragon quest 1 when my grandparents gifted me an NES when i was six or seven years old. i did not have a computer until one year before graduating high school. i was not aware of non-japanese rpg's until a friend loaned me a copy of BG2 and FO1 when i entered university.
i played both to death and over the intervening 10 years afterwards i've dedicated only to playing post-FO1 crpg's. when i got married a few years ago i stopped playing game altogether, except for a brief stint with ni no kuni on the ps3. now that i am divorced i have a lot more free time to re-discover the rpg's i've missed throughout the years.
the first rpg i've played and finished that was pre-FO1 era (i classify western rpg's in my mind as pre-FO and post-FO) was... the remake of wizardry 3 on the snes. the first dungeon crawler i ever played was elminage: gothic. both of these events are very recent.
the first DOS rpg i've ever played is the one i'm playing right now: dark heart of uurkrul.
as for jrpgs? i've played every single one of them until i got sick of them around the ps2 era.

This is the map screen in Betrayal of Krondor. One of the best RPGs of its time.
Ultima Underworld.
I grew up with JRPGs too, in fact most of these games are older than my brother. I just learned this through osmosis.

holy shit you're the man siveon!
i have a notepad file with a small list of DOS rpgs that i'm going to play soon:
ultima 4 ad 5 (although i'm considering going for the ultima 4 master system remake instead), and i'll add the 'betrayal at...' games to it now before i forget.
throughout the years here on the codex i've seen BoK name-dropped quite often so it seems a safe bet. should i play Antara as well? the screenshots look beautiful to me for some reason i can't explain. i've always loved those kind of rough pseudo-polyogonal sprites ever since i played Out of This World and Flashback.
eye of the beholder is another one i've been aware of since time inmemorial but if i understand correctly its gameplay is the same as legend of grimrock, right? i tried out LoG when it came out and found the tango-of-death real time gameplay possibly the most unenjoyable and stupid combat system i've ever tried.
