    That's a great game. You can play it on iPad or iPhone using iDos btw, actually plays pretty well too.

    I may have glanced past it, but has no-one mentioned Terranigma? I loved that game and it was one of the last gems to appear on the SNES.

    Can't pick one so:

    Fallout: New Vegas
    Borderlands
    Earthbound

    I can't pick a favorite because FO and BL are so different from Earthbound.

    Suprised I hadn't already posted on this thread although I checked twice.


    #1 Chrono Trigger
    Most perfect game I've ever played from the multiple endings to the music

    #2 Final Fantasy 7
    I played this for about a year and refused to fight the end boss till everyone was level 99 I just didn't want it to be over

    #3 Morrowind
    Best PC RPG, I still remember an NPC I didn't want to kill chasing me all over the Island lol Loved the expansions also I still have this installed now

    #4 Dungeon Master
    yeah it's old and probably rubbish by todays standards but I played it right through and enjoyed it a lot. I also liked the Amiga Bloodwych which was a similar game but very uniquely two player split screen. I think the two players added a lot to it.

    #5 Legacy of Kain Blood Omen
    Kind of like an adult Zelda but you are a Vampire I don't think a lot of people played this but I liked it and of course it led to the other legacy of Kain games.

    Completed and enjoyed all of the above and there are a lot of others I've enjoyed as well but that's my top 5.

    Good call. Possibly to be overtaken by Dark Souls fairly soon, we'll see.

    Shut up phattestfatty. I wish Pokemon was a RPG game.
    My fav RPG of all time is Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

    Just as many would claim Zelda isn't a true RPG in just the same way you said Pokemon isn't ;)

    Actually, Zelda is an Action/Adventure RPG. It has all elements that a RPG has. (Except for the puzzles and other stuff)

    Pokemon isn't an RPG? I guess CoD isn't an FPS either then...

    Yup. On about the same level as Pokemon. If anything, Pokemon is slightly closer to the roots of RPG due to having turn-based combat.

    Considering the term "FPS" is slowly becoming synonymous with high-pitched screaming, ragequitting, race hate and a total lack of any form of teamwork whatsoever, it most definitely is :p

    My favorite RPG of all time is EarthBound. It edges out Chrono Trigger just slightly on my list. I also liked Grandia II and Skies of Arcadia.

    Coincidentally, I've been playing Blue Dragon on my 360 lately. I didn't get it on launch but I got it for pretty cheap on Amazon and it is a very, very good game. There are a lot of very well implemented game mechanics in it. I was very surprised at how much fun it is.
