Line 1: {{trope}}{{page should be category}} [[File:300px-~~Atari2600a_7997~~Atari2600a 7997.jpg\|link=Atari 2600\|~~right~~frame]] Here are [[The Oldest Ones in the Book]] for [[Video Games]]. The [[NES]]'s US introduction in October 1985 marked the beginning of the end of [[The Great Video Game Crash of 1983]], and we have chosen it as a cutoff date for [[The Oldest Ones in the Book]] of [[Video Game Tropes]]. A good number of the RPG tropes can be found here, since these games trace their roots pretty much directly back to [[Tabletop RPG~~\|Tabletop RPGs~~]]s such as ''[[Dungeons ~~and~~& Dragons]]'', which were among the first commercial games to be ported over to a video game system.
