Since I find all my answers to my questions on Google or Wikipedia, I figured I'd ask something I knew the answer to - just to see if anyone gets it right. Like a game show.
What is the longest running computer Role-Playing Game (RPG) franchise, and possibly the longest running game franchise of all time?

UPDATE: It is not Metal Gear; that is a stealth action series.

Tibia was released in 1996; more than a decade after the first installment of the longest running RPG series.

Resident Evil is a surivival horror series, not an RPG.
The Legend of Zelda is old, but not old enough
The Forgotten Realms games began as pencil-and-paper, and didn't enter the realm of computer games until the late 80s; a few years short.

Silent Hill is not an RPG.

WINNER! I have to wait 4 hours to choose the best answer, but "sgoldperson" is correct; the Ultima series is the longest running RPG franchise, beginning in 1979 with 'Akalabeth' to the present, with Ultima Online.
I'm so happy nobody said Final Fantasy; I don't consider it an RPG.

I consider Final Fantasy a Turn-Based Strategy Game that follows a cast of characters. To see my rant about my Final Fantasy aversion (if you're really interested in anything I have to say), go here:

Well if you mean still running if I am not mistaken it would proably be Ultima. It still runs through Ultima Online if I am not mistaken, maybe that isn't up anymore, and heck that is an OLD franchise.

I think it is The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion
I have the game and I completed it all, its a very long game.
There's the main mission then side missions then missions which you can compete for people.
Also now an expansion for it came out which make the game even longer.

How can you not consider Final Fantasy as an RPG?
