| | Role-playing game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Computer games incorporating gameplay mechanics from role-playing games are referred to as computer role-playing games, or CRPGs. | | | Computer-assisted role-playing games blend elements of tabletop gaming with computer gaming. | | | However, any variety of role-playing game (with the exception of computer games, in which a player's only interaction is with the computer) can be played as a freeform role-playing game. |

| | Computer role-playing game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Computer role-playing games (CRPGs), often shortened to simply (RPGs), are a type of video or computer game that uses traditional gameplay elements found in pen-and-paper role-playing games. | | | In many games, players are allowed to name and create the concept of their characters, as opposed to playing the role of a pre-defined protagonist (like in most Final Fantasy games). | | | These hybrid games are commonly formed by mixing popular gameplay elements featured in other genres, such as first-person shooters, platformers, and real-time strategy games. |

| | Diablo (computer game) - One Language |
| | A sound file of the game's namesake, apparently speaking in tongues, is played when entering a certain area in the game. | | | Diablo in many ways resembles roguelike games, the main differences being the vastly more realistic graphics and the fact the game is in real time, rather than being turn based. | | | In general, a fair game may be found by playing with legitimate characters. |

| | Lora's CRPG Reviews: Fun Computer Role-Playing Games for Busy People |
| | These three games not only defined classic role-playing games in their era, each one of them also expanded the scope of CRPG's in some innovative way. | | | You can find my general gaming philosophy and review criteria at the Backseat Game Designer, if you're curious. | | | Unlike action adventure or strategy wargames, combat is not the primary emphasis of computer RPG's; unlike computer adventure games or simulation/construction games, combat is usually a game element, though some CRPG's tend more towards tactical combat and others more towards strategic combat. |

| | Marvel sues over online role-playing game - Games - MSNBC.com |
| | The personal computer game enables players to design superheroes' look and abilities and then battle against other players' characters in a virtual city. | | | Like similar so-called massively multiplayer role-playing games where thousands of players can be playing simultaneously at any given time, "City of Heroes" claims to offer a myriad of combinations so that no two players' characters are exactly the same. | | | Marvel claims the firms' are responsible because the game is played on servers operated by the companies, raising the question of whether a company is responsible for their customers' actions on its computer server. |

| | And the simple AI would mean making a game similar to all the others. | | | After reading the book I had to decide what level of AI should be put in the game. | | | For example if a door's "locked state" attribute is "locked" the game can tell the player "this door is locked, unlock it first.". |
