Unfortunate that it starts with the PC era, rather than starting from the earliest computer RPGs. Avatar and Oubliette (and their predecessors and cousins) on PLATO were the foundation on which the Wizardry empire was built; from what I can recall there were even successful lawsuits. A critical part of RPG history.
- felipepepe 10y agoThe book is still being written. There will an introductory article on the PLATO RPGs, as well as on the first MUDs and MMORPGs.
- erikb 10y agoI think Rogue is a little older than Oubliette and is a computer game. (haven't checked whether it is mentioned in the book)
