Here's a similar list on wikipedia, but easier to navigate in my opinion (due to links etc): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_role-playing_video_games

Question was it really freee movement 3D (as in DF) or tile/step based movement. And what was the combat like? Might help narrowing it down a bit more.
Edit: daggerfall wasn't one tile at time?
I have been downloading disc images from the Shareware CD archive on the internet archive. Hoping for a lucky hit.
Thank you for linking it Ghan. I didn't even think to do that.
I should also mention that I have about as much luck as… something very, very unlucky. I don't even know. Most of the discs didn't work, even when using compatibility mode. This is because some of them were strictly DOS, which is fine because it is a windows game. I remember the shareware disc interface being very much graphic and using the mouse.
Do you know how to use Dosbox? In case you want to play other old games that program will be your best friend. I can give you the basics if you're interested.
Also, many old windows programs might prove tricky to run in straight up Win7/Vista/8, but there are ways around it. One is to set up a virtual machine, and the other is to simply install an OS in Dosbox (I've in the past installed Win 3.11 in it).
I meant it blew my mind and yes, it sure is impressive.
I once had a plan to do the same thing that CRPG addict is doing, but that list shows what a stupid goal I had. I mean some of those games are so obscure and awkward it looks like they come from another dimension.
I bet when it's finally figured out there's about half a dozen people that will go "ooohh that one! Of course!". It's just typical, hehe.
