I haven't played Imperium cause I didn't own an Atari.The only consoles that I owned and were available in my country at the time, were Terminator and Sega.. something (I can't really remember).

300! Congrats toxicTom and a +1 to keep it growing ;-)

A game that had significant influence in introducing me to RPG goodness is Knights of Legend. It was one of the first PC games I had ever played and it's still amazing what had already been there. You got it all, character creation, equipment, towns to roam and an open world to wander about, quests and lots of fighting. Awesome. I remember me and my best friend sitting in front of his dad's PC and playing the game together. Although it's only single player, you can create a party, so each of us created his own character and then one of us navigated through the game world, while we both decided on what to do next. Combat is turn based, thus could be easily shared. Ah, good old times. I'm glad he's my friend up to this day.

Yeah, it is quite similar to UO (which I didnt play at that time) and I believe the feeling of "everytime is time to die" and the fact that each action counts is extremely addictive! Wow, and similars are nice in their own ways (graphics, community, etc) but I normally prefer CRPGS much more then these...
That was their prime time I believe, but they got a great revival with the mobile games mania, since they were one of the first games to port to that platform.

Tibia community is still very active, as far as I know, and they are continually updating the game!

Never played it, but the name sounds vaguely familiar. Maybe some friend of mine used to play it.

Thanks a lot, toxicTom (plus Soccorro) for a wonderful giveaway and this weird gem of a title! Baffles me that there were not more people interested in BMR. I'll assure you it has found a good home.

Cockroach time! :)

Thank you for the Shovel Knight game, toxicTom! :) And congrats to chevkoch as well!

Shovel Knight seems a great choice. I watched a speedrun with commentary from the developers during AGDQ 2015. Gonna use this reminder to wishlist it now.
