The whole blog is a fantastic exercise in documenting the history of CRPGs, describing and evaluating each game, and analyzing how they all influence each other. He'll often put extra effort into tracking down copies of obscure games and contacting authors.
In some ways it reminds me of Jon Peterson's "Playing at the World", which thoroughly documents the origins and early history of D&D, which started the genre.
Exactly. This guy is amazing and his perservarance is beyond my understanding. I secretly wish someone had the courage to actually stream playing these games, would actually take less time as he doesn't need to summarize and write stuffs.
I second that. Crpgaddict's work ethic is beyond legendary, at times bordering on insanity. Honestly, I find Chet's blog to be one of the best and most valuable places on the internet these days (and I mean this literally). A modern day's monk, really.
