I sunk my share of time in the latter (wish the later games still included the "climb" skill) but never played the former.


Other games I'm interested in seeing your thoughts on are Arena and Daggerfall since you've obviously spent your share of time in their successors. I'll probably catch up by the time you get to the next game I'm really excited about, Legend of Faerghail since it's around 60 games away. Started reading after the Game Informer interview at the rate of a couple entries every few nights, and I'm in the early January 2011 posts right now. Should have gone with a Mosaic or Lynx reference and really thrown him for a loop. In any event, I'm sure I have a lot of errors and inconsistencies here, so please discuss. If, however, my list misses something that is a CRPG, please do respond. I have my own method for evaluating that. I'll deal with that when I get to the game. It's not that I don't care about your opinion, but please, if you see something that you think is not a CRPG, don't bring it up now. I'm leaning towards treating them as new games if they occur within the game's main plot (e.g., Baldur's Gate: Tales of the Sword Coast) but as separate games if they occur after the game's main plot (e.g., Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal).ħ. As we get into more modern times, I'll have to make a decision between treating expansion packs as new games or as sequels. I need your advice on this, so if you know a game particularly well, please comment. For games that have undergone continuous development (e.g., many roguelikes), I will probably break them up into version categories and visit them multiple times. Multiplayer games should not appear on the list unless they also have a single-player mode, so please let me know if you see one.ĥ. Compilation packages should not appear on the list, so please let me know if you see one.Ĥ. I don't know if I have that right for all of the games on the list, and it's important since I'm playing in order of the DOS/PC release date.ģ.

I welcome your comments and corrections, particularly on the original release date vs. I have not fully reviewed the MobyGames databases for the years after that, only the Wikipedia list.Ģ. Please note that the list is current only through 2002. Just a quick note in advance of my next Pool of Radiance posting later: I have converted my "game rankings" Excel sheet to a Google spreadsheet (thanks to Canageek for showing me how easy it was, and to Wolf for giving me some particular motivation), and I have added a separate Google spreadsheet for my master game list.ġ.
