No problem, most likely he wouldn't have anything I wanted.
Besides, Jim does live "near" him, I'm guessing his collection will

FYI. I may actually have to look into this for some of my incomplete

first.

I would LOVE to know of more; I created the Post-Apocolyptic genre on MobyGames
specifically for games like this. For example, wasn't Twilight 2000 sort-of a
PA RPG?

I've shared a very nice resource with Chris once and I hadn't p
Let's not forget some of the best car-oriented RPGs:
Autoduel
Roadwar 2000
Roadwar Europa
They are all genre benders (Autoduel has some Arcade elements, the Roadwars
have strategy elements), but they are definitely classic futuristic RPGs. I
don't know if they fit into the particular category
Infocom's "Trinity" is... *sort-of* post-apocalyptic... How can I say this
without giving away the spectacular ending...? But not really, I guess, in
the truest sense of the term.

Nop
Jim,
You are not alone -- I too love Origin but cannot stand Ultima! I'll take the Might
& Magic line over Ultima any day. As for the British moniker, Garriot himself said
he chose the handle because it sounded cool. And he was a teenager at the time.

Actually, the Ultima series (including Akalabeth) was responsible for many
innovations, but I'll respect your wishes and not respond here.
I'm writing here to make a correction. If I remember my Ultima history
correctly (I didn't look it up to verify) Richard Garriott was given the
name Lord Bri

$149 for CD Willy Beamish isn't *that* far out of line
I have to add a small bit of trivia here... Lord British, as well as Iolo
and many other names in the Ultima games were all characters that Garriott
and his friends played in their D&D campaign. I learned this not from a
book, but back in my freshman year of college, I worked at the computer lab
