Fellow old guys, give new Zelda a spin. You won't regret it!
I played the first Zelda as a kid. I'm playing the latest Zelda as an adult that has three children. I'm talking over thirty years of video game playing. It is one of the best games I have ever played.
Planned to also be later crowdfunded into a physical release, sold at cost price. There's a very good chance I would buy a copy. I already have several physical copies of the books Jeremy Parish put out (pdfs: https://gumroad.com/gamespite , physical books: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=dp_byline_sr_book_1?ie=UTF8&fie... ). Felipe, since I saw you're commenting here, Parish may be a good person to talk to ( https://tw…
Thanks for the tip. The problem is that Parish publish his books through Amazon's CreateSpace, which is powerful but extremely expensive... printing the CRPG Book in color through it would cost more than $60 per unit. :/ I would love to do something like the Bitmap Books ( https://www.bitmapbooks.co.uk/collections/all ), which have great quality and a decent price, all funded via Kickstarter.
Speaking for myself, I think $60 is reasonable for a 450 page, full color book about a niche subject. Bitmap Books does look like a good option, and wow, that book on Super Famicom box art is tempting...

Same here. I remember seeing it when I first heard D&D RPGs on the computer, the 'C' distinguishing it from pen & paper (PnP?).
>PnP I say "tabletop RPGs."
E.g. Warhammer is tabletop even without RPG.
Unfortunate that it starts with the PC era, rather than starting from the earliest computer RPGs. Avatar and Oubliette (and their predecessors and cousins) on PLATO were the foundation on which the Wizardry empire was built; from what I can recall there were even successful lawsuits. A critical part of RPG history.

I would expect (hope) the Shining Force series, including Shining In The Darkness, to make the final cut.
Aren't those console JRPGs?
Bums me out I can never remember name of first crpg I had played. It was early 80s on commadore 64 when you only had a tape deck. The only thing I remember was going through dungeon and around level 3-7 of dungeon you could sit in a chair that would randomly teleport you to someplace in the dungeon, sometimes super deep. There were random chests around and no level restrictions. I remember having a low level characte…
Not sure it is the same game, but I played one my Apple //e in that era, named Telengard ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telengard ). I remember doing exactly as you describe: teleporting very deep and looting a chest for an extremely powerful weapon, and hoping to teleport back so I could rampage for a while. Good times. ;)
Edit..Yup this is for sure the game, I even notice you could program into the game and that is what my cousin who gave it to me did in a school project.
You all made my day with helpful responses. Heartfelt thanks to you all!!
I am going to replay this game for sure because I remember it being very hard.
The author sadly passed away in 2014 I was going to email and say thanks.
