Japanese Role-playing Game
Japanese role-playing games (also called JRPG) made their first appearance during the late 1980s. Today, there are hundreds of Japanese-designed games as well as several translated games. Traditional role-playing games are referred to as pen-and-paper RPGs in English-speaking countries, and are called Tabletop RPG or TRPG in Japan to distinguish them from the video role-playing game genre.

Famous quotes containing the words japanese and/or game:
“The Japanese have perfected good manners and made them indistinguishable from rudeness.”
—Paul Theroux (b. 1941)
“I hate that aesthetic game of the eye and the mind, played by these connoisseurs, these mandarins who “appreciate” beauty. What is beauty, anyway? There’s no such thing. I never “appreciate,” any more than I “like.” I love or I hate.”
—Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)
