411's Epic Column: A Brief History of Western RPGs

Before there was Final Fantasy...

Before there was Dragon Quest...

Before Japanese made RPGs...

Even before Japanese knew RPGs...

The West was already playing D&D, Rogue, Ultima, Wizardry, The Bard's Tale, Dungeon Master, Might and Magic, and other RPGs.

Get ready to be educated about the differences between Western RPGs and their Japanese counterparts on the grounds of their respective pasts, presents, and possible futures – for a few weeks. This history/comparison will last a few installments of the column – this week's being Western RPGs' past.
