The first RPG computer game I ever played, circa 1981, was called Castle Wolfenstein for the Applie ][. It was technically advanced for its day, incorporating the first spoken dialog in a computer game, an impressive feat considering the computer's only audio capability was an addressable speaker that you toggled off and on by addressing C000.
 
Some years later, Wolfenstein 3D came along and put Id Software on the map and made John Romero a folk hero among programmers. I'm embarrassed to admit how many hours I wasted - at the office, no less - playing that game. 
 
On October 27th, we'll be getting Wolfenstein 2. It looks friggin' awesome, if you like immersive open-world FPS games. Here's one of the cut scenes. Favorite line: "It goes without saying, it's not space aliens. All I'm saying is - It's F*cking Space Aliens!"
 

Thanks Dave! I moved it to the TV. Wow! Thanks for the post
Very nice

So now Dave will be spending even less time in The CH.

I played more Duke Nukem than Wolfenstein. Good to see that the ghost of ID past has returned!

All I know is you had to throw the stupid bird statue if you wanted to get out of the pyramid alive - just dropping it wasn't good enough. 

Watch out for that doctor throwing the hypodermic needles too!
 
Will definitely keep my eye out for this one (now that I can game in wondrous 4k!).
 
Well, if I ever get some free time to game that is...  Bought Crysis 3 over two months ago to test with the new computer and have only had time to get through the intro!  *Sigh...* 

I also started out playing Wofenstein 3d, Duke Nukem, and Shadow Warrior (very funny dialogue). I did play a lot of Crysis 3 (great game), but only have about played half way through it. Steam is a great platform to get the best of these games (GOTY editions) and you can get them for pretty cheap when they have their big sales (summer, Christmas, and I think one other time of the year). I've collected about 50 "best of" games, but don't have the time to play 90% of them. 
Interestingly, I really like playing Team Fortress 2 (free) and have spent the most time on.
 
I tend to buy these games when the "hype" has died down and the prices become much more reasonable. Wolfenstein 2 looks like a really good one and has come a looooong way.

Now more than ever, it's still fun to kill Nazis.

Well all those forums won't fill themselves up y'know.
