CRPG is an acronym for "Computer Role-Playing Game."
Generally used to describe any adventure game with a frequently used combat system that uses statistics and randomness. CRPG characters develop a history and abilities as the story unfolds. The most well-known CRPGs are the Wizardry, Ultima, Bard's Tale, and Final Fantasy series, as well as adventures produced by SSI under license from TSR.
