Cobalt Calibur, Perl
Script last updated on January 25, 2007 10:23pm by !nucleo.
This is what got me started with programming. I called it Cobalt Calibur and it is a single player RPG written entirely in simple Perl (simple meaning no weird libraries). The name stuck and it (almost) turned into an AJAX MMO.
You can click each of the version numbers to see what the game looked at that particular state. You can download any of these and run it from a Linux terminal and you will get a fully functional RPG.
