I've been reading the Matt Barton articles about the history of Role Playing Games. Part 1 of 3 starts at
Gamasutra.com - The History of Computer Role-Playing Games Part 1: The Early Years (1980-1983)
I was curious about the reactions of others here concerning the author's list of RPGs as well as his viewpoints.

Interesting article, but that's as far as I'll go since I'm not really familiar with the games listed at those dates (1974 - 1983). I will head over to [url="http://www.gamasutra.com/"]Gamasutra[/url] to take a look at the other parts.
''They say truth is the first casualty of war. But who defines what's true? Truth is just a matter of perspective. The duty of every soldier is to protect the innocent, and sometimes that means preserving the lie of good and evil, that war isn't just natural selection played out on a grand scale. The only truth I found is that the world we live in is a giant tinderbox. All it takes...is someone to light the match" - Captain Price
There are several histories on several sites that are current
I've read at least three the past two months or so, one of which referred to some relatively older parts one and two, written when the subjects were closer to currency (GameSpot or GameSpy, one of those mostly-consoles places).
Meanwhile, nice seeing you, DaveO!
