I'm looking to play a classic (or classic style) PC RPG, preferably of the dungeon crawling type. What I'd really like is a good remake of ultima underworld, but all I can find when searching for that is a shitload of unfinished projects. I was hoping that since System Shock got a nice upgrade with better graphics and mouse control a couple of years ago maybe UUW has as well, but I can't find any good ones. If anyone knows of one, I'd love to hear about it.

Otherwise, any PC RPG in that style with a decent interface would work for me. I've tried UUW, Dungeon Master, Wizardry, Might and Magic, and a bunch of others, but ultimately the interfaces are too clunky for me to spend hundreds of hours playing them. I don't care about graphics, unless the graphics actually get in the way of gameplay like they do in UUW due to extreme pixelation and a tiny viewing area. Any recommendations? I've already played Dark Spire and other similar games on the DS, as well as the newest Wizardry on the PSN. I'm looking for something a bit more PC oriented.

You want to try Arx Fatalis. It was literally developed with the intent of becoming Ultima Underworld 3, except the developer couldn't obtain the license.

These Final Fantasy games are in sale in Playstation Store for US and Canada from today until next Tuesday:

Are the PS1 ports of FF 5 & 6 as lovely as the Chrono Trigger one was? As in, are there any weird slowdown or loading issues at all?b FF6 was part of the same collection as CT if I recall.

I bought a used PSP solely to play Tactics Ogre, it's that good.

I'm curious as to what this means. Tactics Ogre w/ FFT's Job System has always been a dream game for me. If they overhauled the current, kinda boring system to enable multi-class builds that would be awesome.

I spent half of Tactics Ogre waiting for The Tactics Ogre to show up and offer me battle tips.
