Adventure & RPG Games · 51

RPG parties turn character specialization into cooperation; weakness becomes acceptable when another party member is designed to cover it. The history behind the category adds another layer.

The rabbit hole

The word 'roguelike' comes from Rogue, a dungeon game first developed around 1980. Its randomly generated levels and high-stakes deaths inspired an entire family of games decades later. For the next piece of trivia: The Legend of Zelda was designed around curiosity and exploration. Its creator has said childhood experiences exploring countryside and caves helped inspire the feeling of discovering something hidden.
