| | 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). | | | CRPGs, in general, are derived from pen and paper-based role-playing games (RPGs) such as Dungeons and Dragons. |

| | Diablo (computer game) - One Language |
| | In general, a fair game may be found by playing with legitimate characters. | | | 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. |

| | Darkstone |
| | Darkstone characters created in solo games can also be used in Multiplayer games, and vice-versa. | | | The game can be played solo or multiplayer. | | | This means that each time the game is played (at least for the first few games) the player is very likely to receive new quests that have not been encountered before. |

| | Role-Playing Computer Games |
| | Many computer fantasy role-playing games are among the most long-standing and beloved titles in electronic gaming. | | | Still these games were not what you would call "immersive." While SSI was having their run of popular fantasy role-playing games, a largely unknown developer created a game that would alter the face of computer fantasy role-playing forever. | | | Akalabeth is among the oldest computer role-playing games. |

| | 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. | | | 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. | | | This classic CRPG trilogy shows its age in its turn-based combat and chunky isometric graphics, but somehow it's still fun a decade later-- and unlike many older games, it plays straight out of the box (no SloMo or painstaking computer reconfigurations necessary). |

| | Talk:Darkstone (computer role-playing game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Like any roleplaying game, choosing the best equipment for your characters is a game of tradeoffs. | | | For some reason the game stores the current computer name (from Windows networking) in the character file and if the name changes in any way (including character case) your characters no longer work without editing them. | | | Once you have the game patched to 1.05b, there is a Quest Editor to download as well as other quests made by Darkstone players. |

| | 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. | | | The personal computer game enables players to design superheroes' look and abilities and then battle against other players' characters in a virtual city. | | | 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. |

| | Darkstone may not be as original as I would have liked, but it is is a fun, addictive game. | | | The dungeon layouts are randomly generated for each game, so even if you receive the Horn of Plenty quest again in a new game, the dungeons will always be different. | | | For variety, each new game has eight quests chosen from a pool of more than 20. |

| | computer role-playing game - The HelpFox tells all he knows about computer role-playing game. |
| | In many games, players must create their own character's concept from scratch, as opposed to playing the role of a pre-defined protagonist (like in most Final Fantasy titles). | | | Many PnP gamers also feel that it is inaccurate to use the term "role-playing game" to describe games in which the player cannot always act on their desired intentions or influence the setting in many important ways. | | | These graphical RPGs often based their game systems on the various D&D systems used at the time, sometimes even displaying dice rolls, but it is not uncommon for completely different systems to be borrowed or created for use as well. |
