I remember the magic candle series... I liked those a lot as i did the early Ultimas. Nothing to date beats the good times I had playing D&D with a great storyteller of a GM though. I know how you feel about being dissapointed with the stories in many computer RPGs. Its hard to define adequetly but they are often seem hollow and unoriginal. Maybe we have seen to many RPGs and are hard to impress now.
