	Computer role-playing game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Computer role-playing games (CRPGs), often shortened to RPGs, are a type of computer and video games that use settings and game mechanics found in traditional role-playing games.
		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 (as per many cRPG games).
		Many gamers feel that it is inaccurate to use the term "role-playing game" to describe games in which the characterization of the game characters is determined by the game designer rather than the players' portrayal of their roles.

	Fallout (computer game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The game is sometimes considered to be an unofficial sequel to Wasteland, but it could not use that title as Electronic Arts held the rights to it, and, except for minor references, the games are set in separate universes.
		The protagonist of Fallout is an inhabitant of one of the government-contracted fallout shelters known as Vaults.
		This is a reference to the classic computer game, Wasteland, on which the Fallout series itself is loosely based.

	Roleplaying game - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki
		A roleplaying game (RPG) is a type of game where players assume the roles of fictional characters via role-playing.
		The term roleplaying game is also used for certain video games where the player takes on the role of a character in an imaginary world, and makes choices which advance a story.
		While many Star Wars video and computer games have storylines and elements of roleplaying, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and its sequel, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords are the only single-player computer roleplaying games set in the Star Wars galaxy.

	The Escapist - Our Games Are Built On Paper
		The foundation of computer gaming is large and deep, and much of it is made of paper.
		Greenberg's Holistic Entertainment recently restarted development on their Noble Armada computer game, based on the miniatures game of the same name, which in turn was derived from their Fading Suns roleplaying game.
		I think paper games are fun because you don't have the whole huge development cycle and waiting to see the final game that you do with the computer games.

	The Temple of Elemental Evil CRPG Review -- September 25, 2003 :: d20 Magazine Rack :: Are You Game Enough?
		The game is true to the original module — so much so that if you own the original, you could use it as a strategy guide — though the developers have added some expanded areas for adventure like the battlefield at Emridy Meadows, and added some roleplaying-based sub-quests.
		Total game length is promised at 30-40 hours, though this varies depending upon side-quests and approach to the game.
		The game is no cakewalk — but dedicated gamers will find that their knowledge of the rules system is a tremendous asset that will reward them while playing the game.

	Lora's CRPG Reviews: Fun Computer Role-Playing Games for Busy People
		Morrowind starts slow, with a long, dull, aimless-feeling early game in which delivering a letter seems to be the highlight of your character's life.
		Unfortunately the game is not very interactive and has little customizability; the NPCs are two-dimensional and annoying, and the gameplay is buggy and wretchedly slow.
		Wizardry Gold is just about the campiest computer role-playing game ever written, but if that doesn't bother you--and if you have the patience for the long, tedious combat sequences that plagued the early Wizardry games--then the interesting plot, smooth interface, great character development system, and extensive customizability make this classic CRPG one worth revisiting.

		A pen and paper roleplaying game could be characterized as a mix of storytelling, social interaction and a board game.
		For computer gamers the term RPG has come to mean games that take advantage of the theme and atmosphere of these games, and rules.
		It definitely is not a computer roleplaying game, as you can't really play it on your own, and there is no game world that would respond to your actions interactively.

		And I do not regret, because this is in my opinion the best computer roleplaying game ever to be installed on my sweetheart Jennifer (my computer, that is).
		The arguments the magazines used in their total ignorance of the game's brilliance were pretty lame - most reacted on the graphics not being good enough.
		Which, I realize, made the game so appealing - I watched my characters grow from the experience, and now, at 15th level, it is so funny to meet goblins I laugh out loud.

	Daggerfall review
		Most computer roleplaying games (like "Ultima" or "Might & Magic") are based on a group of characters (a "party" in RPG jargon).
		This is a heritage from the original role playing games played by a group of friends around a table, with pencil and dice.
		The game world of Daggerfall is only a small part of the empire of Tamriel, but it still covers the area of a moderate American state or European country.

	RPG TV - It Probably Won't Come Back... In a Big Effin' Way.
		My computer has fallen prey to the evils of spyware and viruses, so in the process many of my files were lost.
		I managed to save the files necessary to continue the site's ever-so-popular sprite comic, but my "genius" brother performed a manual disk clean-up which resulted in the loss of not only many beloved music videos, but the sprites, backgrounds, and other graphics I used in my sprite comic.
		Someday I may find another website that carries the sprites and backgrounds that made my site so popular (another word I'm using lightly, as my site was never popular), and I feel the need to write comic strips involving beloved 16-bit RPG characters, I'll come back and re-open the site simply for the sprite comic.

		old times pen and paper roleplaying has and will always been a MP experience, so making this game to only single player, is making NWN from a roleplaying computer game to just a computergame, sad but true.
