I'd have to go with the old school Ultima series.
I loved the complex single-player RPGs that Richard Garriot AKA Lord British introduced to the genre. They were the king of the RPG market in their time, and there is no doubt that Ultima Online heavily influenced the direction of modern day MMORPGs today. |

Hard to nail it down to just one. Civilization Total Annhililation Warlords 2 Master of Orion 2 Baldur's Gate 2 Ultima VII Also on my old Amiga 500 in the late 80s Mindwalker Defender of the Crown (original mindscape version, not the junk EA put out years later.)

I am not really a huge Ultima fan but when you consider the history and trend setting of that series I just can't think any series IN TOtAL that deserves it more. Even if there are individual games I like more. Modern CRPGS just owe so much to Ultima 4/5/6/7 then you have Ultima Underworld which basically sort of redefined RPGs and paved the way for action RPG style stuff. And then Ultima online. And every one of those games is so deep and rich compared to msot of its comteporaries or even its decendants that its pretty amazing.
People who think Mass Effect is somehow amazing because of choices ... Ultima puts those games to shame. Complete shame.
Hate on Richard Garriot all you want, but when you compare the body of work from Akallabeth to Ultima Online to the rest of the entire RPG genre its pretty darn striking. |

i voted for Elder Scrolls although i am not fan of those, but they still survive in time and grow up ...
same is with Resident Evil but a decade ago i would vote for Zelda or Super Mario and for sure Monkey Islands ..! but both are "dead" for me now ...

This is a hard one as there are so many I like. However, there are a certain few that I will buy or have bought just because it is a part of a series. They are: Suikoden Final Fantasy Grandia dot Hack Soul Calibur Dynasty Warriors I would say Zelda but there are some in the series that I wouldn't buy same with Pokemon |

The Monkey Island Series Gabriel Knight Series Tex Murphy Series The Myst Series The Elder Scrolls (esp. Morrowind and Oblivion, for me)
A toss up. I loved them all so so much. I guess if I was pressed to pick JUST one, it would probably be Gabriel Knight. President of The Marvelously Meowhead Fan Club |

Ultima series up to ultima 7 and its expansions were my favorites of all time.
didn't get as much into 8, 9, or ultima online as those. |

Elder Scrolls, nothing comes close in my opinion. Resident Evil was pretty awesome too. |

The original Might & Magic series. I played the hell out of those games. So tempted to go buy them over on GOG right now. |

A problem with this kind of polls is that only a minority have actually tried all those series. Hard to judge which one is the best unless one has actually tried them and can therefore compare them. |

Well... except for the part about "NOT really a huge Ultima fan", because some of my best memories of gaming were sitting with a couple of my best friends and playing Ultima 4 side-by-side.
