Tunnels of Doom on TI99-4A+
Cartridge = yup
Tape Player to load it = yup
First RPG ever played = You bet
Had a C-64 also around the same time, but that even had a 5 1/4" Floppy Drive (Serial connection), and the famous...
Load "*.*" ,8,1
... which was used for most games.
Also on C-64, playing the early text-based RPGs and games like ZORK, in addition to Jumpman, Frogger, and one that a friend of mine got from who knows where called "The Farmer's Daughter" which was a text based adventure where you were a traveling lightning rod salesman who broke down and were trying to score with the girl, but you had to wander around getting all the requisite supplies like candles, music, handcuffs, etc. Yeah, it was text-based, and we were like 10, so it was "cool" to us.
