Not gonna recommend stuff you can emulate cause you probably already know all about it.

So what's left are primarily western dungeon crawlers, because that's what was mostly being made during the same era as the best JRPGs.

Wizardry 7 is probably the best of these, but if you're a badass you can start a party in Wizardry 6 and export it to the next 2 games. It's a first person gridder or blobber and is my favorite in the series.

In a similar vein you have the somewhat older Eye of the Beholder games if you can tolerate AD&D 2nd Edition rules.

Avernum: Escape from the Pit by Spiderweb Software is a remake of Avernum which is a remake of Exile: Escape from the Pit. The first game in a long series, this is a top-down party based thing with heavily tactical, turn-based combat.

Fallout 1 and 2 are definitely classics and this is about the time period people stopped making big productions along these lines. Fallout 1 has a better story and world but Fallout 2 fixes a lot of bugs and interface problems so I prefer it.

If you want to get really into old PC RPGs try out Ultima 5, 6, or 7. Ultima 7's interface and combat are wildly different from the older ones but it's quite a lot newer than the rest, so it might be easier to actually play.

After having written all this, I am pretty sure you can get all these games on GoG, which you should.

ultima 7 isnt turn based. bye

I'm starting with final fantasy 7 on PC. It has a lot of interesting mods.

They replaced Sids cigarette with a toothpick in other media. I hope he gets it back in the new version.

I've served time now. Failure to live up to the posting standards as set forth by the Imp Zone charter.

Apparently while fixing a lot of translation errors they also gave some characters their proper names but I can't accept new names.

I always wondered about his legs.

This mod is for closeted homosexuals.
