Awesome PC Games from the 90's [and DOSBox appreciation] Thread

[A Black Falcon]

Here's me and RPGs, back through much of the '90s: The only RPG I know spent more than an hour or two with before getting Baldur's Gate in (early, I think) 1999 is Quest for Glory (I): So You Want To Be A Hero, VGA version. I thought it was an exceptional game, just brilliant stuff... but that's pretty much it. Apart from QFG1, I really didn't play RPGs before Baldur's Gate.

I mean, I know I played FF1 and Faria and Zelda 1 (if you count it) on the NES at other peoples' houses, and remember playing like half an hour of Pokemon sometime in 1999 or something (I hated it), and I know I played demos/shareware of stuff like PC FF7, some DOS RPG I forget the name of at the moment, and a few more... but none of those amounted to much of any actual playtime.

I did have a First Edition D&D rulebook and some Gazetteer books, though.. but never used them for an actual game, I just read them several times over. What I did play were the fantasy game boardgames Hero Quest and then later DragonStrike. Those games I absolutely loved...

... Oh right and they don't count but there was Zelda LA in late 1994 and Final Fantasy Adventure in... um, late 1998 or 1999 or sometime around then (I got the re-release). But Zelda isn't an RPG and FFA barely more of one.
