Interesting (especially all the hidden gems) and nice to see things like Sengoku Rance included as well. Why does it has to be a pdf though. :s
They say they plan to crowdfund a physical release at cost price. They're going to have my gold pieces for sure!
Up until now, I was under the impression that CRPG stood for "Classic RPG" (as opposed to J(apanese) RPG, Action RPG or MMORPG). Am I alone in this? If not, this seems a topic worth discussing.
PS: even more specifically "classic" meaning D&D derived RPG with certain style - big world, lots of side quests, advanced customization and rules etc.
IT looke like there are many notable 80s titles left out. One that comes to mind off the bat is Elite. Later coverage looks better.
From a great story, cool Easter eggs, to hundreds of unique worlds to explore. One of the earliest sandbox games too, you didn't have to play it the same way each time you started up a new game.
where are Stuart Smith's games like Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves. A 17 player local multiplayer RPG for Atari 800 or his Adventure Gane Construction Set released by EA for all platforms back then?
where are all the SSI and Epyx games like Temple of Apshai?
Interplay games like Bard's Tale ...
Heck, if it's "history" how about the crpgs on the Plato system in the mid-70s?
maybe rename the book "so and so's random book of crpgs"? or maybe more catchy "Two 20 sided die rolls of CRPGs" ;)
