The Might and Magic series and the Heroes of.. series were two completely different beasts. The former series was a first person, turn-based adventure RPG (from the games I played, anyway), while the latter was more turn-based strategy and creature accumulation, while the heroes of the Heroes series were generals had statistics that helped overall army strength. Both series of games are fun in their own right. I still play them both (Heroes III and restarting M&M VI: Mandate of Heaven).

You may have missed out, Spek, but I am sure those games are floating around cyberspace somewhere. If not there, they have to be ungodly cheap in a used game store somewhere.

My first console RPG was Might and Magic III: Isles of Terra. Before that point I had no interest in RPGs whatsoever. Then I rented FFVI one day, and subsequently played the rest in the series whenever they became available to me. One of the greatest things about one of my mother's ex-boyfriends was that he had a mint copy, maps and all, of FFI. I conveniently borrowed that thing before everything went sour between them. I still have it.

PC RPG is more of a challenge to pinpoint... I think I played Shadowrun well before anything else.

I remember Tracer-Bullet, but I lost contact with him years ago. Last I had heard of him he saved enough money to move back to South Africa with his girl. Previously he had been in England (I think).
