In terms of multiplayer systems, no system, not even drakkar, has come close to the community which existed on the old Imagination Network's Yserbius. It is something I have looked for, and failed to find many many times since Yserbius vanished from the scene. Game wise yserbius was primitive and superficial and failed to build the depth of gameplay that games like drakkar have.
In terms of regular computer based RPG's, well start with the grandaddy of them and work up from there.;
Wizardy for the apple ][+
Dungeon Keeper
Baldur's Gate
Diablo I and II
There are probably a lot of others I've missed, but have played over the years, but these games (and yserbius) will always stand out in my mind.

If Practice makes perfect, and nobody's perfect, then why practice?
If ignorance is bliss, why aren’t more people happy?
What are those little things on the end of your shoelaces called?
and finally...
If money is the root of all evil then how come churches ask for it?

The good memories:
Ultima I - way back when the Apple II ruled the earth and before the evil EA fired, drew and quartered Lord British
Dungeon of Kesmai / Island of Kesmai - The real deal. Hey I can plug my computer into the phone and for only $6 to $12 an hour. Without it Drak would not be the game it is/was?;)
Legends of Kesmai - I'd still be there but it sunk
Kingdom of Drakkar -gotta say it or I wasted the last five years
The bad memories:
Stored at my ski cabin are assorted devices from past and present that connect to the TV. Amongst the boxes of cards, cartriges and CDs are only memories the I could have been skiing if it hand't been for a blizzard. Well perhaps FF7 but for the rest I'd rather play Pitfall Harry:p

I love RPG's. Everyone that posted has mentioned some great ones. I have played and enjoyed most of them. However, I don't think this series has been mentioned and it is one of my favorites:
Might and Magic.......especially M&M 7 ( M&M 9 was a bit of a let down though )

15??
Better check your calculator dude. By even the most conservative date we have 1988 which would be 16 and I think it was before then wasn't it?
That being said. I'm a RGP rookie by most standards, I just don't play many. But:
1. Drakkar
2. Yserbius (yep, my first)
3. Dark Ages of Camelot
4. EQ (tho very briefly)

Okay, I have to chime in with mine...
1) Zork - my dad introduced me to this one back on the commodore 64; without it I never would have gotten into my second most favoite RPG...
2) Dungeons & Dragons - yeah the old pencil and paper game, many a hour have been spent playing and running this game; i've followed it through all of it's incarnations from D&D to AD&D to D&D 3.5. Speaking of the number 3...
3) Ultima Series - Moonstones. Moongates. Avatar. Black Pearls. Spider Silk. 10 Virtues. Mantras. Shrines. Hythloth. Lord British. Lord Blackthorn. Dupre. Shamino. Iolo. Skara Brae. VERAMOCOR. Stones (the song). Magic Carpet. Shadowlords. Sandlewood Box. Need I say more?
4) Diablo 1 - many a nights were spent with some friends at a LAN playing this game; for nearly 3 months we ate; slept; and breathed this game, that is until my number 5 pick enveloped us all within it's grasp...
5) Kingdom of Drakkar - oh holy mackeral! Talk about loosing sleep night after night! I can remember haveing our network set up with 16 computers and most of them being full while we stayed up all night (and the noticing the sun was out and only taking a break long enough to run to McDonalds for a egg mcmuffin and a sprite; well and to go wee wee) playing this enthralling game. Adventures were had, quests were embarked upon, treasures were discovered, battles were fought, and victories were celebrated!

Most memorable online games for me were. Legends of Kesmai, Multi player battle tech solaris, Everquest before any expansions, dark ages of camelot "the first two months", EQ2 so far. Oh and getting my first character maxed in drakkar, not much else memorable yet. The top two games I enjoyed playing from begining to end, are LOK and mpbt solaris.
Mudflation or whatever they call it really drags down the everquests and daoc type games. Daoc really stunk up their game with a few of their expansions. Everquest lost the fun for me, when it became EverRaid.

One of the first "RPG's" I ever played was Tunnels of Doom on my old TI-99 4a. I remember hooking up a cassette recorder to load the tapes that held the game data
It got me hooked and so is very memorable.

OMG, lol, I thought I was the only person to cut his baby RPG teeth on Tunnels of Doom! It was very addictive considering I've never seen anything like it before.Originally Posted by Stormwind

As for as online RPGs, I played Islands of Kesmai via Compuserve ($6.25/hr) on a VIC-20, with tapedrive at 300 baud. Woo hoo. Got crazy one month and played 15 hours (over $90). All Ascii graphics, text interface, auto-refresh to update ascii game window.
I played Ultima but got upset when on the last Virtue (Honesty for me), I mis-typed and payed the blind lady about 1% what she asked and, of course, with no re-load feature.... oh well. After that, many D&D and AD&D games, Might and Magic, Baldur's Date, Icewind Dale, Darkstone.
Somewhere in between, IOK comes back as Legends of Kesmai with an actual GUI on Compuserve (still $6.25/hr). When Gamestorm showed up accessing same LoK server at $9.95/month, I hid gear from Compuserve acct in water, made Gamestorm acct and equipped new chars, starting over at level 1 and gave Compuserve the boot.
Fondly recall my purchase of Mama scales in Pawn (unheard of), sadly recall doing UW quest for con and not realizing it wipe out my 2nd Knight's quest until I solo'ed Wendy and nothing happened. Spent last hours of game in Yeti's belly trying to solo it for the dagger to re-do that quest <sigh>. Enjoyed solving Snafu's contest (well, came the closest) on how to solo Shid's lair without getting hit once. Drop 3 tied daggers and each wave would land on hex, grab a dagger each and fumble while you killed them :D . Snafu turned in bug immediately after contest but I kept CGs. Went back later and did it for real .
Yep, good times... maybe the ghods of Kesmai will again return.
