I played Colossal Cave on a teletype in the 70s, but I don't think that qualifies as an RPG. I had DragonStomper on the 2600 (with Supercharger) and I guess that might just barely qualify. I played Black Dragon on Compuserve via a Radio Shack Color Computer that someone had lent my parents, and I'm pretty sure that actually counts.
And it never occurred to me before just now that all the time I spent "online" with that thing was costing the poor guy who owned the account $6 an hour in early 80s money. I just plugged that into an inflation calculator and it comes out to something over $20 in 2023 dollars. That's kind of frightening.
