This game re-defined role playing gaming for me upon its release in the mid 90s. I still to this day, enjoy this game even above its sequels. That is, until Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion is released, then I may be inclined to change my mind.

This game forever changed my ability to play console RPGs. I was one of those people who started with a game called Miracle Warriors on the Sega Master System and then converted to Final Fantasy when the Nintendo and Super Nintendo were released.
Imagine creating a character of your choice and then being dropped into a massive fantasy world with no boundaries. This is the element that TES - The Elder Scrolls brings to the table. You can follow the main quest or you can adventure and grow your character to the edge of godliness. There are no invisible walls or guided boundaries in your way. You can visit thousands of locations, join hundreds of guilds/factions, go on infinite quests, and create spells/magic items.
Anyway, thats a quick peek at the game. I could easily take up a hundred pages and fill them with vivid detail, but you should just buy and play it instead.
Why is a game made in 1996 selling for $70? Simple, it's totally kick a**!
Cons:
The graphics are a bit dated by todays account. Try viewing some screenshots on the web to get an idea. Think Doom style graphics.
This game can be difficult to get running on a modern machine for the novice. Often times it requires an Emulator like DosBox or heavy tweaking. In WinXP there is a bug that causes quest monsters/items to be invisible which pretty much ruins the game. There are work arounds, and it doesn't happen to everyone, but beaware of the difficulties of getting this to run. It WILL run though!
Hopefully that helps. Try: www.elderscrolls.com for more information.
