Role-playing game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Computer games incorporating gameplay mechanics from role-playing games are referred to as computer role-playing games, or CRPGs. Due to the popularity of CRPGs, the terms "role-playing game" and "RPG" have both to some degree been co-opted by the computer gaming industry; as a result, traditional non-digital pastimes of this sort are increasingly being referred to as pen and paper role-playing games (PnP RPG or PPRPG) or tabletop role-playing games (TTRPG). Computer-assisted role-playing games blend elements of tabletop gaming with computer gaming. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Role-playing_game   (2816 words)

Computer role-playing game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Computer role-playing games (CRPGs), often shortened to simply (RPGs), are a type of video or computer game that uses traditional gameplay elements found in pen-and-paper role-playing games. CRPGs, in general, are derived from pen and paper-based role-playing games (RPGs) such as Dungeons and Dragons. In many games, players are allowed to name and create the concept of their characters, as opposed to playing the role of a pre-defined protagonist (like in most Final Fantasy games). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Computer_role-playing_game   (4221 words)

Diablo (computer game) - One Language In general, a fair game may be found by playing with legitimate characters. It can be extracted from the game's main data file and, when played backwards, produces "Eat your vegetables and brush after every meal." The file is named lvl16int.wav, it is in the directory sfx/misc in the MPQ file named DIABDAT located on the Diablo CD. A sound file of the game's namesake, apparently speaking in tongues, is played when entering a certain area in the game. www.onelang.com /encyclopedia/index.php/Diablo_(computer_game)   (1031 words)

CMRPG - A computer-based role playing game in the "Aliens" universe CMRPG - A computer-based role playing game in the "Aliens" universe The difference with this computer game is, as is currently planned, it will be more of a hybrid game; it will include elements of traditonal paper RPG's (such as a character sheet and character creation, a Game Master, and imagination) but will implemented for play on a computer.

Role-Playing Computer Games Still these games were not what you would call "immersive." While SSI was having their run of popular fantasy role-playing games, a largely unknown developer created a game that would alter the face of computer fantasy role-playing forever. Akalabeth is among the oldest computer role-playing games. The response to Akalabeth was enthusiastic enough to warrant a follow-up; code from that game laid the groundwork for Ultima I, first in a series of computer role-playing games that's still popular today. www.links.net /dox/warez/games/edu/rpg   (1336 words)

Marvel sues over online role-playing game - Games - MSNBC.com Like similar so-called massively multiplayer role-playing games where thousands of players can be playing simultaneously at any given time, "City of Heroes" claims to offer a myriad of combinations so that no two players' characters are exactly the same.

Lora's CRPG Reviews: Fun Computer Role-Playing Games for Busy People These three games not only defined classic role-playing games in their era, each one of them also expanded the scope of CRPG's in some innovative way. This classic CRPG trilogy shows its age in its turn-based combat and chunky isometric graphics, but somehow it's still fun a decade later-- and unlike many older games, it plays straight out of the box (no SloMo or painstaking computer reconfigurations necessary). Unlike action adventure or strategy wargames, combat is not the primary emphasis of computer RPG's; unlike computer adventure games or simulation/construction games, combat is usually a game element, though some CRPG's tend more towards tactical combat and others more towards strategic combat. www.angelfire.com /hero/tjekanefir/crpg.htm   (1809 words)

How to design an ideal computer role playing game? - Adventure Classic Gaming - ACG - Reviews, Previews, Interviews, Galleries, Forums, Features, Cheats - Adventure Games & Interactive Fiction Games If a character plays a lot of chess, you should expect the character to eventually develop an expertise in playing that game. In most games where party members are allowed, it is desirable to have the ability to control everyone in your party during a battle. Even earlier Ultima games (Ultima IV) has a rather complex NPC engine, where the shopkeeper can be found at home during the night and in his shop during the day as well as can be seen walking from one place to another. www.adventureclassicgaming.com /index.php/site/features/118   (3402 words)

generation5 - AI in a Computer Role-Playing Game In classic game programming the objects are usually defined in the program as variables and have a certain number of parameters. So my solution was to make a flexible AI that would be complex enough to allow modifications in the game without having to make too many code modifications and easy enough so that it would be controllable to assure an interesting game. For example if a door's "locked state" attribute is "locked" the game can tell the player "this door is locked, unlock it first.". www.generation5.org /content/2000/game00.asp   (1250 words)

The Grand List of Console Role Playing Game Cliches Although the boss monster terrorizing the first city in the game is less powerful than the non-boss monsters that are only casual nuisances to cities later in the game, nobody from the first city ever thinks of hiring a few mercenaries from the later cities to kill the monster. By the end of the game you are renowned everywhere as the Legendary Heroes, every surviving government and authority figure has rallied behind you, the fate of the world is obviously hanging in the balance, and out of nowhere random passers-by give you a pat on the back and heartfelt good luck wishes. If the main villain (or the enemy you've been trying to kill for most of the game before he summons the real final villain) was ever defeated in the past by another group of adventurers, one of them will secretly be in your party and one of them will be the hero's father. project-apollo.net /text/rpg.html   (8483 words)

Darkstone The designers of Darkstone stated that they are big fans of Diablo but when designing their own game decided to change some aspects of the earlier game that they felt were weak. This means that each time the game is played (at least for the first few games) the player is very likely to receive new quests that have not been encountered before. Darkstone characters created in solo games can also be used in Multiplayer games, and vice-versa. hallencyclopedia.com /Darkstone   (1937 words)

Talk:Darkstone (computer role-playing game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Like any roleplaying game, choosing the best equipment for your characters is a game of tradeoffs. For some reason the game stores the current computer name (from Windows networking) in the character file and if the name changes in any way (including character case) your characters no longer work without editing them. Once you have the game patched to 1.05b, there is a Quest Editor to download as well as other quests made by Darkstone players. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Talk:Darkstone   (1155 words)

computer role-playing game - The HelpFox tells all he knows about computer role-playing game. In many games, players must create their own character's concept from scratch, as opposed to playing the role of a pre-defined protagonist (like in most Final Fantasy titles). Many PnP gamers also feel that it is inaccurate to use the term "role-playing game" to describe games in which the player cannot always act on their desired intentions or influence the setting in many important ways. These graphical RPGs often based their game systems on the various D&D systems used at the time, sometimes even displaying dice rolls, but it is not uncommon for completely different systems to be borrowed or created for use as well. computer-role-playing-game.helpfox.com /?t=computer+role-playing+game   (3691 words)
