These are my all time favorite games, they keep drawing me back
year after year. They are not in any particular order.
HOTU in the 'WWW' column means Home
of the Underdogs, a great site that has most information on older games.
Moby Games is also a good place to start,
although the reviews are not as extensive as in HOTU.
