What?!?!? No LHX Attack Chopper!?!?!? That was my favorite game ever!!
Why, this is an outrage!1! The guy is an idiot who has no concept of
what good games are, much less good DOS games!!11 Somebody alert the
press to this miscarriage of justice! No, alert the police!!1!!
Leaving out a game like that is practically /illegal/!11!!!
</rant>

(Actually, I'm not really a huge LHX fan but this being the Internet I
felt an outburst of moral outrage over such an insignificant topic was
required, and I gladly stepped up to the plate. Your welcome,
Internet. ;-)

Having gotten /that/ out of the way, I see he is also missing:

Ultima I-VI
Falcon 3.0
Terminator Future Shock
Elite series
Monkey Island I-II
Gunship 
Prince of Persia
Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe
Any of the "Gold Box" SSI RPGs (Pool of Radiance etc.)
Flashback
Elder Scrolls Arena
Bards Tale
Might & Magic
Star Trek TNG Final Unity
Need For Speed
SEAL Team

While it could be argued that not all of the games are deserving of
addition, I think a case could be made for most of them (I mean, if
/TYRIAN/ gets a card, then surely the Ultima series does as well. And
the absence of the Monkey Island series is just baffling)

Also, I object that Master of Orion II was added but the original was
conspicuously left off that list! Hrmph! Everyone knows the first game
was the better of the two! ;-)



And with all of THAT out of the way:
Nice list, pretty art. Good selection of games and a fun trip down
memory lane. I like it. Good work.

(Ah, the Internet; 100 hundred lines of complaining for every line of
compliments. Makes it all worth it, eh?)
