Top Ten

From Alan Beer, Bristol

1. Dungeon Master and - I played DM on a friend's ST and was so 
   Chaos Strikes Back   impressed with it that it was the reason
                        I bought my ST.
2. Zak McKracken      - Good fun with Mindbending puzzles.
3. Xenomorph          - Very big with lots of mapping to do.   
4. Captive            - Hard work but its got that one more go
                        feeling to see what's around the next corner. 
5. Manhunter,         - It was a bit hard to get into but it's got
   one and two          some funny bits in it.
6. Deja Vu            - I don't know what I like about this one - I
                        just do.
7. Infestation        - It's got that feel of being there.
8. Future Wars        - The controls aren't great but the graphics are.
9. Damocles           - Loads of things to do

10.Millenium  2.2     - Not exactly an adventure but I couldn't stop 
                        playing it until I finished, which was about
                        24 hours in total.
@~As Alan put DM and Chaos as joint number one, I've given both of
@~those 10 points and Zak 8, then done a similar thing with the two
@~Manhunters. That means Damocles and Millenium 2.2 haven't been
@~taken into the scoring.

Here is something you can use - my adventure top 10!
1. The Lurking Horror - 2. Jinxter - 3. Stationfall - 4. Loom
5. Dungeon Master - 6. Jacaranda Jim (PC only) - 7. Planetfall
8. Guild of Thieves - 9. Fish! - 10. Zork II
As you can see, Infocom dominates! I love the style of Stationfall
and Planetfall, especially Floyd and his witty comments! Jacaranda
Jim is in a similar vein to Infocom, and I have included it on
this disc as it is Shareware (for the PC) - I have tested it on
PC Ditto I, on which it runs perfectly (although very slowly!).
@~Jacaranda Jim is now on SynTax disk 153. 
@~With 10 pts for a number 1 game down to 1 pt for a tenth choice,
@~the running total is now:
26 pts   Dungeon Master
20 pts   Chaos Strikes Back
15 pts   Xenomorph, Lurking Horror
14 pts   Stationfall
10 pts   Trinity
9 pts    Beyond Zork, Jinxter
8 pts    Wishbringer, Zak McKracken
7 pts    Ultima V, Sorcerer, Loom
6 pts    Phantasie 1, Captive
5 pts    Drakkhen, Zork II, MHNY, MHSF, Jacaranda Jim
