The best in my book for 1st player RPG are:
(1)Baulders gate Shadows of amn, + Throne of baul expansion.3rd Perspective =you see your party.From a top slant view.Mostly a non-liner.
(2) Wizardary 8 its 1st perpective.= you are the eyes of your party members.mostly non-liner some liner.
(3) Fallout2 Post nuclear war, you are mad max.3rd Perspective =you see your party.From a top slant view. Mostly Non-liner.

Online stores Gamestop,or Ebworld.

If you like Wizardry, track down a copy of Interplay's Wizardry Archives. You get Wizardry 1-7 for the PC. Some of them are a little tricky to get running on modern computers, but I got them going on an old 486 I had sitting around. RPG heaven!

I still think its ironic I can run arcade, NES, Genesis and SNES games fine on my PC..but to run -PC- programs from the same era a lot of the time I need to drag out an old computer..the SNES emulator for example works, while even Moslo isn't enough for some old games- they think my hardware is not enough to run it!

Hehe, yep. i done did that a'ready. But i never actually finished all 7, I only played through 1 and part of 2. I started to port 1 to the TI-83 calculator though! problem is, the rendering of the wireframe view kinda too 8 seconds every step. not so hot. I guess if i weren't so lazy and wrote it in Z-80 assembly, it would run up to speed, but i kinda let the project drop. The chargen and combat running stuff was good for D&D after a little tweaking tho.

to Phoenix-D: yeah, i hate that, i have a bunch of classics I used to run on my Win3.1 machine (486DX, baby!), and no matter what i do, i can't make them work right on my 98 system. (props to 98 for being able to run almost all of them, but the speed is unmanageable. MoSlo is a great tool though, it has allowed me to keep a few oldies (anyone every heard of Fantasy Empires? Silicon Knights, SSI, TSR? sad, SSI and TSR are now owned by Ubi Soft and Wizards of the Coast, respectively, but Silicon Knights lives on!)

Ditto on this; this game is truly magnificent!!! It was one of the few that really staggered me.
