    The First RPG I Ever Played. Remembering 1980's Wilderness Campaign On The Apple II

    The First RPG I Ever Played. Remembering 1980's Wilderness Campaign On The Apple II

    #VideoGames #Arcade #WildernessCampaign #Retro

    A few years ago, Mike had a vision playing this game from his childhood.  But he just couldn't remember the name.  After many google searches (with descriptions like "Apple II game with necromancer castle"), he finally found it.  Wilderness Campaign!  This game is one of the first computer RPG games ever created.  Watch and try to hang with Mike as he plays this very low stimulating (by today's standards) game!
