History of Eastern role-playing video games
Eastern role-playing video games are role-playing video games developed in East Asia. Most Eastern role-playing games are Japanese role-playing games (JRPG), developed in Japan. Role-playing games are also developed in South Korea and in China. While the Japanese video game industry has long been viewed as console-centric in the Western world, due to the worldwide success of Japanese consoles beginning with the NES, the country had in fact produced thousands of commercial personal computer games from the late 1970s up until the mid-1990s, in addition to "dōjin soft" independent games. The country's computer market was very fragmented at first; "Lode Runner", for example, reportedly required 34 conversions to different hardware platforms.
