I am very picky about the games I play. I got used to in depth text games in the late eighties on my C64 like Kyrandia. That was fun on a 1200 bps modem!

Nowadays most games are graphic-intensive and have no real story line. These two games are fun and will open up your mind and imagination! The first one is text and ASCII graphics based and the second one is a full on flash RPG! Enjoy.

I love playing online role playing games aka RPG's. Sometimes I want to play against the system and not against real people. I will show you 2 awesome free online adventure single player RPG games you can play by yourself. The first one is an old time favorite of mine called The Kingdom of Loathing aka KOL.

You go to The Kingdom of Loathing and create a new account. Click the Create a character button.

They will give you a bit of the background story above the dialogue to create your username password and character type. Think of The Kingdom of Loathing as a fun, less geeky type of Dungeon and Dragons. No one will tie you up a flag pole for playing this! No offense D and D lovers.

Get you character created and continue on"¦.

Choose a character class. You would normally see Ogre, dwarf, warrior but here they are replaced with hysterical stereo typical classes like a Seal clubber, Turtle Tamer or Disco bandit!

If you get into this one their will be no coming back! As you get further and further in it will become more difficult and challenging.

Darkness Springs is a awesome role playing game: You have the same options that you are used to in other RPG's. You can explore the game world, solve quests and gain experience. You gain experience by questing and battling. You are not required to play the game in any linear fashion and may explore and play at your own hearts content!
