Looking at the 1990 list, I see only a handful with which I have any experience: Champions of Krynn, Ultima VI, probably Secret of the Silver Blades, and Quest for Glory II: Trial by Fire. Thus, we are now entering a 'dark period' of CRPGs for me. Soon I was playing the new classics, like Baldur's Gate and Diablo. While I did catch up on my favorite series, I don't think I played any games that were not sequels to 1980s titles.

This didn't change until 1998, when I bought my first PC and quickly relapsed. My CRPG addiction was temporarily cured, and I went from spending hundreds of hours per year to 0. Here's what happened to me, in order, in 1990: my Commodore 64 broke, I went to basic training, I started my senior year in high school, and I got a girlfriend.

If it works out well, I'll update the list for 1991 and re-issue it during every yearly transition. Zenic is already covering them well over at ' The RPG Consoler.' Nonetheless, I might be persuaded to play some of the landmarks, if only to contrast them with computer RPGs during the same era.) (There are console games on the list, but I imagine giving them a low priority even if they get a lot of votes. Like I've been doing throughout the past year, I'll probably cover it in a single posting (if sometimes a long one). You can fill it out any time while I'm still in the 1990s I'll keep a permanent link on the sidebar and dip into the list, considering your votes, whenever I want to pluck out a 1980s game. I've created a quick survey for you to fill out to prioritize which games from this list I should play when I feel like departing from my DOS/PC list. I need a way to prioritize which of these games are the most interesting, noteworthy, and important to the development of the RPG genre. There are twice as many games on this list as I've played on the DOS/PC list since starting this blog, so there's no chance that I'll ever catch up if I simply keep going in order. I don't know if emulators exist for some of the platforms. I've made no effort to verify that these are RPGs, nor for the foreign games any attempt to determine if there's an English translation. Like my master list, I've simply culled this one from MobyGames, Wikipedia, and other sources. It also has DOS games that I played briefly but not long enough to give a rating (e.g., my 'backtracking' posts from 2010).

My master game list now has a second tab for 'other platforms,' and it includes every additional RPG I've been able to find for any platform, plus a few DOS games that I overlooked on the first pass but didn't think were significant enough to make a u-turn for. For the last year or so, I've been slowly trying to rectify my mistake by catching up on non-DOS/PC games, but without some kind of way to prioritize them, I've been giving equal attention to the classics and the dregs, and I remain stuck in 1981. I might still limit my list to non-console games, but I'd take the time to learn Apple II, C64, Atari ST, and Amiga emulators. I have by now accepted that my decision to play on PC and DOS games was a horrendous mistake, and if I could start over again, I wouldn't make the same decision. We're not fully leaving the 1980s, probably not for a long time. Windwalker would have been a little better if it had taken itself less seriously Keef would have been a lot better if it had taken itself more seriously. Mines of Titan could have been good if the last third hadn't descended into pointless dungeon crawling and a sudden ending. The Land could have been good with smaller cities and dungeons, and not quite so many foes. Don't Go Alone could have been good if the horror theme was more than just a facade on a traditional dungeon-crawler. Hillsfar could have been good with a little variance to the 'dungeons,' maybe a little combat there. Knights of Legend could have been good if they'd focused on something other than just the combat. Drakkhen, a game of beautiful graphics and an exciting interface, could have been good with a less senseless plot and a less blunt approach to combat. In innovating, the developers forgot to retain enough elements of the classics. Unfortunately, a lot of these games, though innovative, simply didn't work well for me. Drakkhen.I can't even think of a pithy way to summarize it.
