Traditionally computer rpg's have been all about progression, while pen and paper rpg's have had ones with a purely storytelling perspective. The computer games that resemble rpg's but don't have progression as their modus operandi usually fall into…
Not to forget the absurdity of charging for gear when you're out there fighting someone else's war because they ASKED your help. Just imagine if the Spanish republican government would have charged the volunteering International Brigades money for f…

Originally posted by muzzington I think I'll always remember the theme to Monkey Island.
Oh dear, I recall making a version of the Monkey Island theme with Noise- or ProTracker on Amiga :D That song was mind-bogglingly good!
