PuyoPuyo started in 91 I believe, so DQ came first.

That said, I don't think puyos were inspired by slimes. At least, it doesn't look like it to me.

but certainly Slimes have been aped in other games... one of the Wizardry games I think?

How about the .Hack (Dot Hack) games?

"Are you missing a silver axe? Or perhaps it was a golden axe?"

I've only been able to play the first game, Infection, but I'm pretty sure they make recurring appearances throughout the series.

I'm not familiar at all... picture?

Slimes came from Dungeons and Dragon, which I no doubt would think was the influence for them in Dragon Quest.

I don't think there are many games that rip the EXACT slime from DQ (other than the spin-offs that are actually about the slime). I think an article about slimes in RPGs in general would still be interesting though.

I'm trying to look for them, but I can't find anything. But I remember they looked a lot like slimes.

help me out yo, or I got nothing to start with!

Ok, I'm sorry. My memory seems to play tricks on me. Saw a pretty crappy screenshot, but it's basically a water drop, not a slime. But I'll try to think of something.

The original slime.
