	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?
