Aah the good 'ol days. There are still games like that out there, though. Stalker series comes to mind, Fallout to a lesser extent. I don't really consider linear games RPGs because you cannot assume a role if there are no choices to be made. The newest Final Fantasy game is a great example. Not really an RPG, more of a strategy adventure game...
