I didn't recognize many of the games beyond Defender -- I did play a LOT of Bard's Tale II (the last game on the list) with my roommate and music buddy Dave, though. We only did that when we couldn't find the Infocom text games anymore. Now you can get the Infocom games for the flippin' Palm OS -- I've resisted as I doubt I'd ever get anything done again, though.
