The NES always seemed a bit of a step-down though for me from the 8-bit computers, as it tended – like its successor the Super Nintendo – to lean on action, rather than adventure and strategy. Released for the Nintendo Entertainment System aka Famicom in 1986, it directly influenced more adventurey RPGs like Times of Lore. The quintessential game though as far as UK knowledge of the Japanese market goes was Legend of Zelda. That old title had a great Wizard of Oz moment where the game transformed from text adventure to top-down tactical RPG. Aparently the first was in 1982, The Dragon and the Princess. I say new-fangled, but they’ve been around forever it seems. As you might realise, I’m getting a little bit long in the tooth so I thought I’d try one of those new fangled Japanese RPGs (jRPGs).
