	Two mistakes were in my previous posting, because I added a final vote and
	forgot to resort the list of games:

	(1) Falcon received an additional vote and so should have been placed
	    before Elite:

> 4	Falcon
> 		I'm sure you've heard lot's about this already...THE F-16
> 		flight simulator.  Choose mission and skill level.  Higher
> 		levels are more realistic but difficult to survive in.
> 		Dogfight with computer MiGs and evade surface to air
> 		missiles.  Truly a blast flying head to head at 19.2
> 		baud (get your friend to bring his ST over...it's worth it).
> 		Also recommend the optional mission disk.  
> 3	Elite
> 		The old space-trading classic, tho' I started to find it
> 		getting rather "samey" as time went on.

	(2) Time Bandit received an additional vote which should have placed it
	    before Arkanoid:

> 2	Time Bandit
> 		Arcade type game with an underlying adventure game
> 		scenario.  There are numerous thematic 'time zones' which
> 		scrolling rooms and monsters all in beautiful color.  You
> 		shoot the monsters while trying to get treasure (for extra
> 		lives) and the keys to get out.  As you do this you will
> 		learn about the underlying story of the time zone you are in
> 		and will try to solve the adventure.  Split screen allows
> 		two players to cooperate at the same time.  Fast, colorful
> 		graphics.
> 1	Arkanoid
> 		Breakout type game with power ups.
