>Which one is your favorite game?
That's a though one. I don't think I've ever had an absolute favourite except for the very beginning. There are just too many RPGs that I loved laying and love replaying.
A few notable games that I have really fond memories of are Betrayal at Krondor, the Ultima games from 4 onwards, Tales of Phantasia, Heroes of the Lance (though I had no idea what I was doing) and Newcomer (an absolute gem of a C64 game).

>JRPG or CRPG?
Both.

Well, as far as the time period goes yes and if you're trying to argue for Commodore a good basis for your argument might be "if this were 198X" since the geometrically more expensive Commodore hardware was unsurprisingly much more powerful than the proprietary, gaming focused console hardware that normal people actually played games on.

But truly in hindsight we must evaluate a system based on its library (if we're evaluating it as a gaming system, and this IS /vr/). Although retro computers were certainly more powerful and some very special games in limited ways outshone the competing console games, consoles for sure offer a better gaming experience with the notable exception of WRPGs.

Retro computers are fascinating since much more casual developers ("authors") had the opportunity to create games and as a result the library has a certain kind of appealing flavor but the reality is that there are still better games being released for the NES and that in the rare cases that people produce a notable new C64 game they're invariably a weirdo. q.v. pic related
