I always see people debating over terms for different RPG games, but I've devised a foolproof way to make sense of it. Once and for all, here's the new official RPG terminology:

  • Western style RPGs were originally created for computers, so we should call them computer role playing games, or CRPG
  • Japanese style RPGs were originally created for consoles, so naturally we should call them console role playing games, or CRPG
  • Chinese style RPGs are developed in Chinese-speaking places, so we can differentiate them by calling them Chinese role playing games, or CRPG

personally, having made an RPG with sharp pixel art, I think it's important that we differentiate it by calling it a jaggedy role playing game, thanks

Let's not forget the RPGs for country girls who are just making do; corn role playing games, or CRPGs.

We need a term to separate the word "retro", as it begins to include more contemporary titles over time, from the CRT era of console games. So we should more specifically be calling the latter Cathode Ray Projected Games
