Chrono Trigger.

A very good choice. Would've been my first as well, I'm sure, except that I didn't know it existed til the Playstation 1 days (during my SNES days I was relegated to playing what was available at Blockbuster). I'd have loved to play it on original SNES.

 

I remember the first time I beat it it froze during the cutscene and I had to do it over. I was so mad. :xp:

If Zork doesn't count...

 

Probably D&D 3.5 (The Basic Game box set)... then AD&D 2.0...

 

Way to think to inside the box! :D I forgot about pencil and paper RPGs. I got my first D&D game about 2 years before Wizardry.

As far as I can remember it was Baldur's Gate. Damn good game and I'm glad I played it because it really got me interested in RPGs.

Since someone said that "Zork" didn't count, I will have to change my first RPG. Hmmm...

Metal Gear The Original (Nintendo)

-or-

Final Fantasy The Original (Nintendo)

Dungeons of Daggorath in 1982 ... actually, in the end probably more of an FPS than RP. But I was 9 years old. *chuckle*

 

I didn't start tabletop RPing 'til I was in high school with Middle-Earth Role Playing and D&D of course...

 

So, the first CRPG I played is probably Divine Divinity, a really, really decent top-down 2-D RP. I found it in a $9.99 bin at a drug store and figured my old beastie of a computer could handle it.

 

That was two years ago. So, that makes me a n0ob and an old fart all at once...

I think the first RPG game I played was Star Wars: Galaxies. Interestingly, my tolerance of the combat in SWG (at the time) was what convinced me to pick up the KOTOR series.

Including demos, I think it would be some obscure title called Abomination something. Excluding demos, I think it should be Deus Ex. Not really sure, though. Got fuzzy memories of that era.
