Role-playing games without a keyboard

[Ladonna]

Legacy of the Ancients, Legend of Blacksilver, Questron 1 and 2, Amberstar and Ambermoon, Dark Sun games. Probably hundreds more but this is from the top of my head.

I have a mouse something like this, could probably play most games with one hand:

Sorry if i post a bit off-topic but as of today one can buy similar (with a small "keyboard" under the thumb) mouse in left-handed version - if someone is interested. I do have a crippled right arm (not completely but bad enough to make using mouse only a preferable option). The only left-handed mouse similar to this is made afaik by Razer. They are the only company to produce left-handed versions and they - again after a few years - have them in sale.

there are even voice recognition programs for cripples that send keys based on your words

Can I play Mortal Kombat this way?

Sure, with a secret character who uses the style Voice-Fu. The character is called Snail Loser.

I am not sure but TES Arena as far as I remember.

Gold box games

Some of them.

Yeah, they require typed in passwords for copy protection and also some need a keyboard to occasionally answer NPC questions.

In responding to this thread, I actually learned that you can use the mouse for movement in later GB games, but it doesn't apply in Pool or Curse or Gateway. The first two of those don't support the mouse at all.

You mean the DOS versions? I only played the DOS version of Matrix Cubed. All the rest of the GB games I played have been C64 and Amiga versions, and apart from the copy protection and occasional typed in answer for NPC's, no keyboard required.

I'm lookin' for role-playing games which can be played without making use of a keyboard.

The only proper way to play RPG without keyboard

Spoiler

As a bonus, you don't have to use a mouse either.

Don't you think OP would feel a bit embarrassed to rub one out in company of fellow travelers? :makesyouthink:

That makes me a bit scared to buy used RPG dices on the internet, from random sellers. You'd think this type of danger would be restricted to porn magazines!


Any other titles come to mind, guys? I appreciate your recommendations.

That's a fucking big mouse.

Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss can be completed with only a mouse.
I think many late '90s to early '00s isometric RPGs can be completed with only a mouse, but I may be wrong about that.

You need keyboard for Garamon I think, you have to write two keywords. Other characters have It but they aren't mandatory.

While not keyboard free I played Hellgate london with a c64 joystick, a fairchild controller, an intellivision controller, a colecovision controller, atari 2600 controller, sega genesis game pad, xbox and playstation knock off gamepads. I couldn't get a thrustmaster or driving module to work sadly.
