Clasic RPG Section?

What if we had a sub-folder for Clasic RPG's such as 1996 and before? i really liked a few

Say 1996 and before, else it will be a forum for Fallout and Baldur's Gate.

Ok i changed it but still lol whos the forum mod btw?

I don't know.

But the '96 was just a suggestion. Personally I think 90-95 was something out of a golden era for games in general. There aren't that many games from the 80'ies worth playing today even if there are some. There are very few games from 96-97 I can mention that is worth going back to, mostly because of the CD/3d experimental era in which far too many crap titles was released.

That's something decided at the Admin level. I'm sure they're aware of your request. I don't see why General RPG doesn't already fit the bill, though.

I guess it does but i was just thinking that its more important than just a general rpg section if you know what i mean?

I agree. I also consider 98'-02' to be the "Platinum" age.

lol okay i see well im only16 but i started with 1980 games and worked my way to 2010 so now im going back again starting with elder scrolls: arena

One word for those that say there was nothing good in the '80's: Ultima. 1-5 were 80's titles. As was Wizardry 1-5, all three Bard's Tale games, all three Phantasie games, Might and Magic 1 and 2, and at least 3 or 4 of the gold box games.

I could add in some non-RPGs as well, with ease.

Yep, they were all great and most are still on my HD; thank you Dosbox!!

I think General RPG would be the right forum; while my favorite gaming years were the mid-to-late nineties and I agree that the 'classic' games are historically important, I doubt a special forum just for them would generate enough traffic to warrant its creation. But perhaps others think otherwise.
And I loved Arena, btw.

Arena is still on my HD too; love that game and DF. (Yep, it's still on there as well!!

Daggerfall ist the one of the best . For me.

But are those 80'ies games still enjoyable, or is it just nostalgia?

Well, I play several of them every year, even if I don't always complete them. So yes, for me they just as enjoyable.

For the first time?

The 80'ies games I enjoy to play have mostly been replays of games I already played back then. It's rare that I find one that I enjoy, mostly because the hardware wasn't good enough to deliver a story. Sierra's adventuregames are enjoyable for me still but I finished all of the 80'ies ones.

None for the first time!! I played them for the first time the year they were released!!

so does anyone else think they need there own section? just so there organized help and talk about?

To be honest, while I love the games, I don't think there would be enough traffic to warrant a special forum.

ok then looks like its not worth it, oh well.
