CRPG
A Computer Roleplaying Game (RPG). It's best pronounced "crappage."
Some of the best known and highly praised CRPGs include:
- Baldur's Gate I & II (Has nothing to do with Vikings.)
- Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2 (This sounds like it's porn, but it's not.)
- The Ultima Series
- Planescape: Torment(More of an interactive novel than a game.)
- Fallout I & II
- Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura (Takes cliche and rips it a new one)
- Dragon Age: Origins.('Dark, heroic fantasy'.)
Japanese video roleplaying games were and still are made mostly for consoles and are often referred to as jRPGs or Japanese RPGs.
