your favorite 90's early 2000's RPGs

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

probably kotor,ff9,ff7, and pokemon yellow are my favorites from those time periods, i didn't play too many rpgs as a kid ( wasn't exposed to them really at all and my parents didn't play games so finding out and buying them myself was pretty limited)

As it seems with many others in this thread, Planescape: Torment is still the gold standard against which I measure the many games I have played since. None quite measure up, but some come close. The obvious ones are the Fallout series, the Baldur's Gate series, Deus Ex, Might and Magic 6+7, and the System Shock series. However if you want early 90's games to try out, I still remember playing some great RPGs on my old 486. These include:

Darklands
Wizardry Series
Ultima Series (Especially the Underworld games - try these if you see what inspired Deus Ex, System Shock, later Elder Scroll games)
Betrayal at Krondor
Jagged Alliance Series (as Tactical RPGs)

Proud to say that Final Fantasy 3 (FF6 in Japan), was the only JRPG to keep my interest long enough for me to get at least 2/3 of the way through.
