From Graham Wheeler, Bath

When I decided to make a list of my Top Ten Adventures the main
thing I was concerned about was finding 10 adventures to make up
the list. The reason for this was that most of my adventuring has
been done on the 8-but machines. Taking papyrus and quill in hand
I started compiling a provisionary list to see if I could come up
with the amount needed. By the time I had reached over 40 titles
it became obvious to me that the problem wasn't going to be "Can I
Find Enough Adventures For The List", it was more a fact of "Which
Adventures Can I Leave out?" Well, after many hours of juggling 
with the adventures, here is my Top Ten and the reasons why I
chose them!

(1) Ultima IV        - RPGs are my favourite type of adventure and
                       this one is by far the best that I have
                       played.
(2) Spellbreaker     - Taking everything into account this has to
                       be the best text adventure I have ever
                       played.
(3) Dungeon Master   - As soon as this was released it was obvious
                       that it was destined to become a CLASSIC!
(4) Enchanter        - This was the first Infocom adventure that I
                       played and it was an excellent introduction
                       to the world of Infocom.
(5) Bard's Tale I    - Another top class RPG that gave me many
                       hours of pleasure. My only regret is that
                       Bard's Tale II and III were never released
                       for the ST.
(6) Dragonflight     - A very recent release that I have just
                       completed and found extremely enjoyable.
(7) Wishbringer      - This is a lovely adventure and must rate
                       as one of the most enjoyable games I have
                       ever played.
(8) Guild of Thieves - I must admit that I have never been
                       impressed by the majority of Magnetic
                       Scrolls releases but this one, in my opinion,
                       is excellent.
(9) Phantasie III    - This was my first RPG on the ST and as such
                       it holds many happy memories.
(10) Cortizone       - Last but by no means least is this
                       ridiculously-cheap adventure available from
                       Zenobi.
