Top Ten Adventures

@~As suggested by Alex, the old Top Ten has been closed and we are
@~starting a new one this issue, which will probably run until the

The SynTax readers' Top Ten up to the end of 1993 was:

1st place   Dungeon Master - by a huge margin
Joint     ( Enchanter
2nd place ( Chaos Strikes Back
4rd place   Lurking Horror
5th place   Trinity
6th place   Wishbringer
7th place   Leather Goddesses
8th place   Loom
9th place   Guild of Thieves
10th place  Hitchhikers' Guide

@~To register your votes, just send in your choices, number them
@~1st to 10th and preferably give brief comments on why you voted
@~for each game. 10 points are awarded for 1st place down to 1
@~point for 10th place.

This issue, here is Alex's Top Ten

From Alex van Kaam, The Netherlands

1 World of Xeen                - Finally a good DM clone/beater
  (Darkside of Xeen
   & Clouds of Xeen)
2 Dungeon Master               - I said in 1990 this will always
                                 be my number one, well, Xeen was
                                 better.
3 Chaos Strikes Back           - Always stays one step behind DM
4 Eye of the Beholder II       - One of the reasons I bought a PC
                                 at last and it was worth it.
5 Xenomorph                    - Not very difficult but one of the
                                 best space RPGs I ever encountered
6 BAT II                       - Something different which I kept
                                 going back to.
7 Knightmare                   - Loved playing it and some of the
                                 puzzles were very devious
8 Betrayal at Krondor          - Something new which I'm still
                                 playing
9 Eye of the Beholder III      - Not so good as Eye of the
                                 Beholder II but still very good
10 Captive                     - If it only had an ending.........

Honourable mention:

Might and Magic III:           - If it is as good as Xeen it will
Isles of Terra                   probably come into the top ten
