LoneWolf16 Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Wow...good topic. I actually can't think of anything except for one that's most likely wrong. Co-op/FPS with decent attempt at a story/"Tactical" A.I. - Halo (X-Box) I had thought that some of nature's journeymen had made men and not made them well, for they imitated humanity so abominably. - Book of Counted Sorrows 'Cause I won't know the man that kills me and I don't know these men I kill but we all wind up on the same side 'cause ain't none of us doin' god's will. - Everlast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorth Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Dune II had fog of war 2 years earlier. Not sure if there was something earlier then that. Wasn't Dune II the game that made the "RTS" way of playing popular ? “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Moose Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 King's Quest - first 3D RPG. Feel free to have the whole "it's not an RPG cos it doesn't have element X or function Y in it" argument.
