Lufia, and Lufia and the Fortress of Doom. By far the hardest RPG's EVER. Chrono Trigger is far superior to Chrono Cross (although Cross was good). FF3 best FF ever, right next to 10, and 7 if they hadn't rushed it so much. (Very Noticible), I personally hated 8. The card game was fun, the regular game wasn't. Earthbound is the shit. I got the emulator with the 5 billion rom packs. Liek every system out there has one now. Even N64 has an "OK" one.

Tales of Phantasia has a translation patch now too. http://www.romhacking.net/ has a lot of other RPG translations.
Terranigma and Robotrek were fun.

One time I went to the recycling depot and they had tons of Nintendo Power and Fate Magazine, I brought them home. It had the second issue of nintendo power too. My mom decided I had too many magazines and threw them all out one day though.

If, by 'old', you are referring to anyhing 10 years ago or longer, then I love Final Fantasy VII. I got it 10 years ago and have never finished the game. Right now, I'm levelling up my characters so as to beat the Red Dragon. Chrono Cross was good too.

Good question.
I don't think the type of games I played influenced the type of person I became. Instead I think the type of person I was influenced the type of games I played.

I was unable to play Fallout I on my computer but I also have Fallout 2- I hope I can get it to work on XP somehow.
By far the best RPG I ever played was a game few people have ever heard of, Planescape:Torment by Black Isle Studios.
Pure genius.
It is listed as one of the Greatest Games of All Time by most gamer magazines. I wish they'd make more games like that but Torment is unique as far as I can tell. Unfortunately, it was poorly marketed and never received the audience it so richly deserved.
No other game I have played before or since had the emotional impact of this game. It was totally immersive. The characters who joined my party became like part of my family. I felt like I was cheating on it when I played other games and it genuinly saddened me when it ended.
Following is a link to info on the game including in-game movies to give you a better idea of what it's like to play. Start with movie #1..you wake up on that slab in a mortuary having no idea who you are or how you got there. The whole game is about uncovering your identity. Great, great game and no one EVER had a better sidekick than Morte, the floating skull!

I recently realized I still have Fallout2 installed on my computer from way back in the day. I've been thinking about starting a new game...

I forgot to mention that many of the creators of Fallout I and II also helped create Planescape:Torment.
