Whats a real good one? One of the best games for the STe I know of would be Captive. I don't have an STe, but a friend who does says the stereo sound effects add a lot to the game. It'll definately keep you going for a long time, if you decide to try to play it to the end, but it starts to get pretty same-like after about 20 levels. Each 10th level is basically a complete round, so you can finish at anytime you feel like. Knightmare is also good, as of course, is Dungeon Master and Chaos Strikes Back, appearantly available now as a set for cheap. One of the newest games available that is getting a lot of raves from the few game players left on the ST is Amberstar, which is a good copy of all the best parts of the Ultima games, with a lot of tricky puzzles thrown in. It's also the start of a trilogy, so once you finish the first, there'll be more to come. On another note, the latest ST Gamers Digest reports Mindscape has dropped the ST. Has anyone in Britain heard what this means to the expected release of Captive II, as this was due out on Mindscape? -- "If Rush fans were braindead, why are there so Bruce Bufalini many people posting to alt.music.rush?"
