Ohrrpgce games, as I noted in the Wandering Hamster post, are generally kind of bad, but there are a few that might be worth playing, and you can always get a smidgen of good from any game. Here I’ll highlight a few of the ones I’ve particularly enjoyed.
Because there are quite a few of these I’ve put them under “the jump” (I’ve never used “the jump” before, let’s hope it works!)

Sword of Jade by Charbile and Fyrewulff is a lengthy (25+ hour) RPG with a lot of philosophy and furries. It can be very hard at first, but if you don’t give up after the first area it gets easier. If you enjoyed games with a lot of text and convoluted plots (like Xenogears or Planescape: Torment) you can enjoy this game. It’s personally my favorite Ohrrpgce game, but others feel it’s overrated, it’s very dependent on one’s tastes.

Vikings of Midgard by Fenrir-Lunaris is an RPG with a Norse mythology setting, and has some of the best pixel art I’ve ever seen on the Ohrrpgce.
–
Boundless Ocean is by Hardi Gosal (Orchard-L), the author of Missing and Fedora Spade. Boundless Ocean is an adventure game with RPG elements. I think it’s an interesting game, especially the storytelling and visualization, and just the sheer the idea of playing a game set in the afterlife (God and Buddha are characters you meet there).
–
Walthros by PHC has fairly rudimentary graphics, but don’t let them scare you away, it’s a long game with an interesting story, and one of the better games on the Ohrrpgce.
–
Wingedmene by Komera Waddi is an unfinished but lengthy traditional high-fantasy RPG. Well, at least the mechanics are traditional, the story surrounds a playable character who looks like this (I think that’s cute). I helped Komera with some of the game, the battle balance and one of the dungeons, but she did most of the work. It’s a very traditional RPG: if you liked the first Final Fantasy game, this game plays a lot like that, difficulty level and all.

Keep in mind these are old games so they may not work on your computer; if they fail to work, you can try downloading the newest version of the Ohrrpgce game runner and running the game’s .RPG file through that. Some of them might not even come with that game runner, so it’s a good idea to pick it up anyway.
