I first started playing CRPGs in the mid 90's, with games like Dark Sun and Might and Magic 4/5, so I'm pretty accustomed to those. I never really played anything older than that, because they just didn't interest me.
Lately I've been trying to play some of the early CRPGs, and I just can't. I've wanted to try the Goldbox games for a while, but I started the first Krynn game and it's just way to archaic to the point where it isn't fun. Same thing with the early Wizardry, Might and Magic, Ultimas, etc. I'm not hung up on graphics, but there's just a point where it becomes annoying to play the games because everything is just so clunky. The necessity to manually map areas is also one of the major killers... I just can't bring myself to do it.
Does anyone else feel the same way? I'm kinda disappointed in myself, but... oh well.
