AD&D: Cloudy Mountain, AD&D: Treasure of Tarmin, and Tower of Doom (which was also planned as an AD&D game) are all candidates. You could say Cloudy Mountain is an action game with a D&D wrapper, but the latter two are unequivocally RPGs. Tower of Doom is a remarkably sophisticated roguelike, well beyond anything else out on US consoles at the time.PK Thunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14416777230563913195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946916641850178817.post-68301342414839838952012-06-15T00:40:40.750-07:002012-06-15T00:40:40.750-07:00They may be actual computers.

I've always thought of consoles as plug and play devices (i.e. put the cartridge or disc in, and it load the game) with no other real function, but that definition is getting blurred with all the things the latest and next generation of consoles can do. Maybe a console could be any video game system not meant to be modified?Zenic Reveriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16441583549326102945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946916641850178817.post-10750049352216635102012-06-15T00:09:14.352-07:002012-06-15T00:09:14.352-07:00Giauz

I merely assumed they were part of the age of "standardized " home computers (Commodore 64, Amiga, Apple ][e, etc. From peoples accounts of that era, the biggest difference between playing games on a computer or NES was the price point and interfaces) .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946916641850178817.post-87894108914291462412012-06-14T21:40:03.321-07:002012-06-14T21:40:03.321-07:00It's hard to tell with such shoddy release dat...It's hard to tell with such shoddy release date info, but yes, I believe all that is correct. But, it depends on what system you'd call consoles. I'm not too familiar with the PC-88 or the MSX, but are those considered computers instead of consoles?Zenic Reveriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16441583549326102945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946916641850178817.post-3243186378377729762012-06-14T16:37:47.735-07:002012-06-14T16:37:47.735-07:00Giauz
