RPG   First-person

Rating: 8.55 (674 votes)

Elder Scrolls: Arena, The box cover

Elder Scrolls: Arena, The screenshot
One of the most all-encompassing RPGs ever created didn't succeed commercially due to hefty hardware requirements for its time. Nine man years in the making, Arena heralds a new level of RPGs: 3D gameworld with realistic weather effects, cool spellcasting system where you can create thousands of spells,and best of all -- 8 million kilometers of terrain to explore on your quest to find the Staff of Chaos. You can ignore the main plot and just do what you want, e.g. steal from houses at night and take on side quests. A truly "epic" game that deserves to be on every RPGer's shelves, despite repetitive dialogues, awkward interface, and tough battles.
