Legacy of the Ancients in 1988 on a C-64. I was 8 years old back then. Damn…time flies (like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana). However the gameplay hasn't held up that well for me, and that's even with a healthy dose of nostalgia. It's not a terrible game mind you, it just hasn't aged well.
In the early 80s I owned a C64 and I loved simple top down dungeon crawlers

I think the very first Role-playing video game I may have ever played was Hillsfar. My parents got me it for my C64 when I was probably around 8 or 9 years old. And while in retrospect the game is pretty awful (and more of a collage of minigames & text adventure than an RPG), I spent a good deal of time with it. I enjoyed generating characters in the game and eventually completed it with every class.
Oh, great point. I think before I played Computer RPGs I already had played Hero Quest.
Gosh, I feel so young, I'm one of the few who started playing RPG after 2000 :lol: You guys make me feel like a noobie
