My playlist was a lot more complete.
Although there were already a lot of Ultimas in that list, Underworld
really deserved a mention. It was the first real smooth-scrolling
first-person ("Doom-like" we called it back then, even though it
preceded Doom by several years) roleplaying game pretty and
definitively put a nail into the coffin the first-person/step-based
RPG genre
Certainly more worthy an inclusion than Pagan, which really didn't add
anything new to the genre; it wasn't the first RPG with a dark tone
and its gameplay was in no way innovative.
