I am continuing to work my way through the remaining adventure games that I wanted to play from 1980. It is presenting a bit of a dilemma as my favorite genre are the computer role-playing games. I have already worked my way through all of the CRPG 1980 offerings. However I still have quite a few text adventures to play from 1980 before I move to 1981.
I believe what I am going to do is now move ahead to 1981 and begin to play the computer role-playing game offerings there. I think I will come back to 1980 and continue to work my way through the remaining adventure games as I began to tackle 1981’s CRPGS with earnest.
My original plan had been finish all of 1980’s offerings before moving into 1981 but there are so many more adventure game offerings (comprised mainly of text adventures in 1980) that I am growing weary of the genre and want to get back to my computer role-playing games.
So I am going to move ahead into 1981 and share the list with you that I have of the 1981 games that I want to devour. I believe I am going to begin with Wizardry I: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord. I will also make it a point to return to 1980 and finish what I have started there of course. The completionist in me would never let me do otherwise.
Below is the list of the 1981 collection that I’ve put together that I want to play.
I will reiterate that I am going to begin working on Wizardry I: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord and I have two blog posts still to put together from 1980 as well. This will allow me to continue to satisfy my computer role-playing game craving while sticking to my mission.
If you’re starting to feel jaded about playing adventure games, I think that stepping into the 1981 CRPGs to freshen things up for you is fully justified. It’s your personal journey through gaming history so you’re perfectly entitled to choose your route!
Thank you for the support. I think my initial mistake was plowing through all of the 1980 CRPGS first before moving into the adventure games. I’m still enjoying my journey with the adventure games but was really looking forward to getting into one of the CRPGs again. There is still quite an adventure game list left in 1980 so I felt the need to move forward to alleviate my cravings lol
