[QUOTE="Von Ether, post: 7846606, member: 15582"] That's why the big video game companies tried real hard to get such games, called Computer Role Playing Games (CRPGs) back in the day to drop the "C" from the CRPGs. Fans were constantly reminding them that the game back then were more like combat dungeon simulators. But eventually they, and lazy video game journalists, did drop the "C" to the the point that on the Internet many assume that RPG means (Computer)RPG. So, ironically, we now add the "TT*" so people know we are talking about the original hobby that started it all but I'm all for dropping that and putting the C back where it belongs, thankyouverymuch. * When did that TT thing even start?! I only found about it last year. And how do we kill it? [/QUOTE]
