Only really played one: Radical Dreamers (the game between Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross)

It always seems like the barrels around here have something in them.

Radical Dreamers was fun (although some of the endings were REALLY weird.)

I've played good ol' Zork, and a whole host of other text adventures way back when, most o 'em I can't even remember what they're called, only that I played 'em.

Technically, Chrono Cross replaced Radical Dreamers as the sequel to Chrono Trigger.

I've played "MST3K Presents: Detective"

The tier system in a nutshell:
[spoiler]Tier 6: A cartographer.
Tier 5: An expert cartographer or a decent marksman.
Tier 4: An expert marksman.
Tier 3: An expert marksman, cartographer and chef who can tie strong knots and is trained in hostage negotiation or a marksman so good he can shoot down every bullet fired by a minigun while armed with a rusted single-shot pistol that veers to the left.
Tier 2: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything, or the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.
Tier 1: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything and the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.[/spoiler]

I used to have the old Infocom box set.  The Zork series, Enchanter, Sorcerer, Spell Breaker, Hitchhiker's Guide, and more.  It came with this awesome guidebook full of really great extras.

I wrote a very simple on in C back in 2001 or 2002.

I think they can be fun, but my favorite RPGs were always Dragon Warrior and Final Fantasy for NES.

Quotes
[spoiler]
Quote from: Cafiend
It is a shame stupidity isn't painful.
Quote from: StormKnight
Totally true.  Historians believe that most past civilizations would have endured for centuries longer if they had successfully determined Batman's alignment.
Quote from: Grand Theft Otto
Why are so many posts on the board the equivalent of " Dear Dr. Crotch, I keep punching myself in the crotch, and my groin hurts... what should I do? How can I make my groin stop hurting?"
Quote from: CryoSilver
I suggest carving "Don't be a dick" into him with a knife.  A dull, rusty knife.  A dull, rusty, bent, flaming knife.
Quote from: Seerow
Fluffy: It's over Steve! I've got the high ground!
Steve: You underestimate my power!
Fluffy: Don't try it, Steve!
Steve: *charges*
Fluffy: *three critical strikes*
Steve: ****
Quote from: claypigeons
I don't even stat out commoners. Commoner = corpse that just isn't a zombie. Yet.
Quote from: CryoSilver
When I think "Old Testament Boots of Peace" I think of a paladin curb-stomping an orc and screaming "Your death brings peace to this land!"
Quote from: Orville_Oaksong
Buy a small country. Or Pelor. Both are good investments.

Absolutely!  Those two games pretty much defined my childhood!
