Yeah, like I said. Me and my friends made it up. PM me sometime if you want to play it.

Think you can give us a detailed explanation here first (please?)?

I'm interested in it with the way you're talking about it

ugh... Basically, it's one of those imagination games.

You are walking down a dirt path and you reach a fork in the road. You have to decide what your going to do. But it's more complex then that. You have a pocket with infinite items. You can pull ANYTHING out of your pocket. You could pull out Chuck Noris out of your pocket if you wanted(but you can only pull him out six times, because you only have six of every item). The players job is to survive his journey for as long as he can, while the story teller(dungeon master basically) has to try to kill you off.
There a bunch of rules that we have added along the years of playing. But that's the jist of the game.

You can't win it though. The story teller can kill you whenever he feels like it. Trying to win the game isn't what makes Rocky's World fun. It's all about the story. I've had some really entertaining experiences with this game. Once I was challenged by Willie Wanka to a Yu-Gi-Oh duel.

I also got killed once by a care bear. He used the Care Bear Stare(Kudos if you know what that is)

It's just random fun. It sounds dumb, but if you play it with an experienced story teller you'll get hooked in no time. People are always bugging me about how they want me to play Rocky's World with me.

Interesting....
How many people usually play? Just 2 while everyone else listens, or is there multiple people?

Also, this may be something fun to play if we decide to do voice chat..... if we ever do it ever......... (we could use skype and do conference call, that way we wouldn't necessarily need a server or anything like that...... and skype has really good voice quality and is free for computer to computer)

If anyone already has skype (like me), perhaps we could start a topic for skype names

I'd have to get a mic first...

yeah, It's usually just one player and a story teller. I've done it with two players once. It was rather chaotic. But it's still possible.

Castlevania 2 Simon's Quest/LoZ adventures of link(if you consider it either RP, although they're closer to adventure/rp)
or
Dragon Ball Z: Goku Gekitouden which led me to playing FF legends 2, and Robotrek

Wild Arms (the original).  Although, I do recognize all those you people listed.  I'm definitely an RPG fanatic.  RPG video games are what made me decide that life was worth living.

What was the title of that numberless Final Fantasy released on the SNES ?

I don't remember the plot at all but I remember one of the bosses being a huge octopus found in an ice cave of some sort >.>

For me it had to be Legend of Zelda Ocrarina of Time. I was obsessed with it the moment played it ... I still am lol.
