<p>Brandovsky: Many grammatical edits</p> <hr /> <div>{{CPC games by genre}}<br /> This category contains all Role-Playing Games (RPGs) for the Amstrad/Schneider CPC computer range.<br /> <br /> It is noteworthy that this genre was a bit uncommon on Amstrad 8-bit computers. This is largely due to the fact that at the time, the best RPG producers were American or Japanese, markets where the Amstrad was sadly not very popular.<br /> <br /> However, some of these games were ported from ZX Spectrum and/or C64.<br /> <br /> ==American RPG==<br /> <br /> The majority of these are some manner of Dungeon and Dragons style adaptations.<br /> <br /> You can often customize your characters through choice in class and races.<br /> <br /> A few examples of this:<br /> <br /> *Bard's Tale.<br /> *Might and Magic series.<br /> *Dungeon and Dragons games from SSI (Golden Box engine, Baldur's gate, etc.)<br /> <br /> ==Japanese RPG==<br /> Most known for it's storytelling, cinematics, and lack of real choices or character customization.<br /> <br /> ==European RPG and the Amstrad==<br /> <br /> Few of these are present on the CPC; most that are existing are actually text-based adventure games.<br /> <br /> A few proper RPG titles do exist however:<br /> <br /> *Black Land<br /> *Fer &amp; Flammes (fire and Flames)<br /> *Le Maitre des âmes.<br /> *Le Maitre absolu.<br /> <br /> Many pseudo-RPGs were mostly action games, with RPG mechanics or theme.<br /> <br /> *Thargan.<br /> *Heroes of the lance.<br /> <br /> It is also noteworthy that the interface on the few proper RPG were quite old-fashioned, and lacking efficacity by modern standards.<br /> <br /> ==Links and Articles on the matter==<br /> <br /> *[[RPG]]<br /> *[http://www.cpc-power.com/index.php?page=jeux| CPC-Power entries for RPGs], only 37 games...<br /> <br /> [[Category:Video games by genre]][[Category:Games Programming]]</div>
