    This together with Baldur's Gate and Might & Magic 6 : Mandate of Heaven are the most memorable

    Zelda: Ocarina of Time
    Zelda: A Link to the Past
    Xenogears

    A troll is a troll and a roll is a roll, and if we feed them trolls then we don't eat no rolls.

    Final fantasy 6, Lufia 2, and secret of mana / chrono trigger.

    breath of fire (loved that one as well) - and a variety of other Snes rpgs are also really good. :P
    But those 3 are up on top for me.

    There's more, but most of them have been mentioned over and over.
    Mountains rise in the distance stalwart as the stars, fading forever.
    Roads ever weaving, soul ever seeking the hunter's mark.

    • Might and Magic 7: For Blood and Honor
    • Baldur's Gate
    • Neverwinter Nights
    • Zelda: Ocarine of Time

    With your list, which, as mine, can be cross-platform of nature, I hope to find a new jewel among the many oldskool RPG's out there.
    You, sir, have excellent taste. I think I'd add legend of dragoon and dragon quest to the list though.

    That game is what introduced me to the genre. Pokemon Red and Blue also were favorites though at the time I didn't consider them RPG games as much as adventure games with RPG elements.
    That has to be one of my all time fav

    Baldur's Gate 1&2 (and ToB, just because Sarevok is awesome)
    Icewind Dale 2
    Shadow Hearts (would be Covenant, but it holds up too well for me to consider it oldschool...)
    Few others I suppose, but nothing that's stuck with me quite like those.

    Edwin do this, Edwin do that; somebody get this jerk a banana...

    Glad to see the Ultima series getting some love here. I poured hours upon hours into those games (almost as much as I've poured into WoW) growing up and have used the name I came up with back in Ultima IV on the good ol' Apple II in almost every RPG that allows for eight character names. We had even had a teacher at my elementary school that had a couple classroom copies of Ultima V and at least 20 kids in his class played.
    CPU - Intel i5-2500k w/Corsair H50 * MB - ASUS P67 Pro
