I have to add a small bit of trivia here... Lord British, as well as Iolo
and many other names in the Ultima games were all characters that Garriott
and his friends played in their D&D campaign. I learned this not from a
book, but back in my freshman year of college, I worked at the computer lab

$149 for CD Willy Beamish isn't *that* far out of line

Actually, the Ultima series (including Akalabeth) was responsible for many

Jim,
You are not alone -- I too love Origin but cannot stand Ultima! I'll take the Might
& Magic line over Ultima any day. As for the British moniker, Garriot himself said
he chose the handle because it sounded cool. And he was a teenager at the time.

Infocom's "Trinity" is... *sort-of* post-apocalyptic... How can I say this

the truest sense of the term.

Let's not forget some of the best car-oriented RPGs:
Autoduel
Roadwar 2000
Roadwar Europa
They are all genre benders (Autoduel has some Arcade elements, the Roadwars
have strategy elements), but they are definitely classic futuristic RPGs. I
don't know if they fit into the particular category

I would LOVE to know of more; I created the Post-Apocolyptic genre on MobyGames
specifically for games like this. For example, wasn't Twilight 2000 sort-of a
