As to text adventures, I think we should include Sherlock by Melbourne Hose.

Too many good 'S' games. This is going to be a difficult one when the poll goes up... :?

Up to you of course, but this one's going to be so huge that I think we'd all forgive a plain list without links :-)

Or maybe just give Splat and Sir Lancelot a linked pic.

Can I add a +1 for Sceptre of Bagdad? It's a wonderful budget title, and one that I've always enjoyed playing.

The list will be so long that I think this time we might make an exception and avoid all the pics, just the poll list of games

Haha, lets see if we can get this list up to 100 games people !!!!

By far the toughest letter yet, so many greats here.

Naah, it's got to go up. It gives people a good visual reminder of the games. You don't get that with pure text. I'm sometimes embarrassed when I put up a shortlist in these discussion threads and then someone immediately posts the name of an absolutely fantastic game I forgot to mention. Getting all the screenshots up is great, and helps us make up our minds when we're picking between the final two in our heads (or three).
