I love RPGs. They’re exciting, and I just love the idea of getting a new one. They’re not for nerds. I dare **anyone** to make fun of RPGs. But there’s so many of them out there, it’s hard to narrow down your choices. One of my favorite RPGs is [RPG7 by IMI.](http://www.isayeret.com/weapons/rockets/rpg/rpg7.htm) You can find a [review here,](http://fmso.leavenworth.army.mil/fmsopubs/issues/weapon.htm) but I think this is for the Russian release. Beside RPG7, I really like [MEDIUM, by Crane Industries.](http://www.geocities.com/exo_wars/crane_ind_mrpg.htm) How about you? What’s your favorite RPG? ---

are there any RPGs that don’t use that turn based nonsense that’s in the Final Fantasy series? As you can see I am ignorant of RPGs ---

Wasn’t the gazebo in Zork 1 or Zork 2 ? As for RPG’s (as opposed to computer Adventure Games) was the Bazooka an RPG? ---

I suppose an RPG would be quite effective against a gazebo though. Thanks **Miller** are the early Zorks available to play legally on line yet? I learnt more typing skill and new words from Zork 2 than at school. ---

You kids and your RPGs. All we had in my day were Boys .55 rifles. They broke our shoulders by the third shot, and we were HAPPY to have them. ---

Morrowind and the Tribunal expansion. First time I started it, I didn’t really get into it. The second time, I really got caught up in the storyline. ---

One carries the launcher and the other the rocket, so I guess in a sense it would be turn-based. ---
