A couple of years ago I found something called Choice of Dragons, a Text based RPG game, never heard of something like that so I played it and loved it. I started playing more games an then I found the forum. You know the story from there.

I looked up the developed name to see what people thought and found this

Pretty sure I simply stumbled upon Choice of the Dragon after complaining to a friend about Skyrim’s lack of choice. Particullary choosing between the Graybeards or the Blades and the Imperials or Stormcloacks. After seeing the variety of paths I could take I was rather hooked.

I found Choice of the Dragon on the app store and then looked up the website. That was back when the only official games on here were Dragon, Broadsides, Romance, and Vampire. Wow, it’s been so long…

Found Choice of Games via TvTropes actually. Was doing a bit of a surf in that sight and found the Choice of Games page there.

A friend recommended Sabres of Infinity to me.

I think I was looking for text-based games and zombie-related RPG’s, or some other kind of randomness. So, I found it with Google! I can’t remember for sure why, though; been too long. But then again “last week” is a bit too long ago… :flushed:

I discovered CoDragon and became hooked on unleashing my wrath. At the time, I distinctly remember thinking Choice of Games and Hosted Games were competing companies before I found the site

I was always a fan of RPGs (the pen and paper variety) as well as Choose Your Own Adventures. And while I enjoy games from BioWare, etc. sometimes I wanted a more direct impact. This led into some Visual Novels (with the interactive element)…and then I saw the Heroes Rise on Steam. I came over here, tried some of the free demos, and free games, and was hooked :smiley:

I do hope, if Steam allows it, Choice of Games will put a couple of their free ones on Steam to let people have a go at it, and see if they like it. I do know I got a few others hooked on Steam (these are great if you don’t want a twitch game, or something which you can leave, and come back too).

Something, I don’t remember what, led me to Sabres of Infinity’s TVtropes page. It looked right up my alley, so I checked it out. I wasn’t disappointed.

I was searching for zombie games, and found zombie exodus. Totally drawn into CoG since =)

I was working on writing a which way book and was going to look at writing something in html when I did some google searching and found Dragon. That is all it took. :smile:

I played a game called Digital years ago and went out obsessively looking for more IF, and a friend recommended Choice of Games for my phone. (:

I searched for superhero games, and Heroes Rise popped up. Bought it a week later.

My friend showed me Choice of the Dragon back in 2009. I’ve been hooked ever since. :slight_smile:

I found C.o.G what feels like forever ago. It was either 2009 or 2010 when I first played a C.o.G.
First one I played was Choice of Vampire then Dragon and Broadside. I played the romance one but never bought the rest of it.

lmao I have no idea at all. I think I found Choice of Romance a long time ago while searching for dating sims. I remember when I found it though there weren’t even ten games out yet between CoG and Hosted. Look how far it’s all come!

I was looking for browser RPG games and on this site called Jay is Games I found the link to Choice of Romance. ^^ And I’m so glad I did. <3

Dragon brought me here although I have no recollection as to how I stumbled across that addicting little story.

I’ve spent many of my waking hours since reading other CoGs, soaking up the forum knowledge and working on my own story.

This is a great place filled with creative people that just happen to make me feel old.
