Favourite oldskool rpg?
Mine was the the Krynn trilogy(part of the gold box collection) those games engrossed me at a young age and moulded me to the kind of games I enjoy today
Ultima fanboy here, Ultima IV in particular. And Might & Magic Xeen a few years later. Though I think it was the squad combat of Breach that set me up for RPGs later.

Once I learned what it meant, I was disgusted they'd use such a common term (!) in such a confusing fashion.
What fun to be a young teenager.
