I have been watching a lot of different let’s play videos on YouTube and I just remembered a great site for all you RPG fans out there. I want to talk about one my favorite websites besides GameFAQS as a great source for RPG information. One of the first video game sites that I found on the Internet is called RPGClassics:
The first thing that you will notice about this site is that look like it was made a long time ago. According to the site, RPGClassics has been around since 1997 or so. This was before 2000 and the great Web 2.0 craze. I actually prefer the Web 1.0 look of RPGClassics. The layout is much cleaner and content is surrounded with actual white space. Wow, white space. You can hardly find white space today where sites try to squeeze content into every single spot possible. Where are the days when you could surf online and not have to deal with random Flash ads that call you out at every turn?
RPGClassics covers a pretty wide spectrum of gaming consoles ranging from the NES to the PS2. Each console is categorized as a shrine. Each shrine contains a list of games for you to browse. All of the content is either in a simple list or table, no distracting graphics that get in your way. The site is well optimized so that pages load quickly. If you want to read through long black and white text files that you have to search through, stick with GameFAQs. GameFAQs does have more detail but if you do not like reading plain simple text off the screen, then you should head on over to RPGClassics. This site has all of your favorite RPGs and still keeps things simple, clean, and fast. With Web 2.0 bombarding you with content all over the place, RPGClassics is a sight for sore eyes.
