After I "faded" from the hobby in the early nineties it was these digital versions that kept my "foot in the door" and kept the interest slowly burning as other hobbies and interests took over...namely, girls, skiing, girls, diving, girls and maybe the occasional bout of time spent studying and that unfortunate thing that gets in the way of our interests, i.e. work. And while I love the return to this more nostalgic D&D I really can't wait for Bethesda to come out with Elder Scrolls V: Skyrm.

Console RPG
I liked Morrowind, loved Oblivion, and remember that Baldur's Gate changed everything. But for me, it all started with Eye of the Beholder,(unless of course you include Zork) which I much preferred over Ultima III, though I do suspect that it was because the "concept" so mirrored the pen and paper experiences I was hoping to have with my friends.

BTW, whatever happened to the "girls, skiing, girls, diving, girls" hobby? :P
ReplyDeleteAndrea: Well the "girls" morphed into "a girl" and while the other interests are still allowed the one that was "plural" is not :-) Either that or I just got too old. ~grin~
