When was the first time you experienced the JRPG genre?
For me, it has to be Wonder Boy in Monster Land on an arcade machine back in 1990.
It was very unusual to see an action rpg as a coin up game. I don't think there was anything like that in the arcades. I was unable to complete the game, but I had tremendous fun with it as a child.
Before that, the closest thing I played to rpgs in general was probably the text adventure games on those microcomputers.
