Nice nostalgia-fest. I was pleased to see some of my favourites near the top, despite their unaccountable love for the Infinity Engine (for me the only tolerable IE game was PS:T). They didn't include Bards Tale, but they had a lot of entries from the superior Wizardry and Might and Magic series. I do think EOB or EOB2 should have been in there, but only Dungeon Master made the grade from that genre. If you must choose just one, it has to be DM I guess. Ah well, comparisons are invidious. It's a nice list, anyway. - Gerry Quinn
