I haven't seen these so no comment.

|>7  Electric Train
This one is fun for about 10 minutes. It lets you lay tracks and run an animated
train on them. It gets boring after the novelty wears off.

|>6  Metro
This one is about stupid in my opinion. I thought it would be a PD sim city, but
it's not even close. You have a city and you have to work out the tranportation
problems. 
|>5  Nakamoto (updated Jumpman)
This is a nice game.

|>4  MechForce
This game is terrific! Kind of like a board game, based on Battle Tech role
playing game.

|>3  Monopoly
Isn't this kinda old? Is this the old ABasiC program from around 5 years ago?
Or is there another version out? If Parker Bro's see's it, I am sure they will
have a tizzy. 

|>2  Moria 3.0
A personal favorite on my unix box. Too bad I don't have enough memory to run it
on my Amiga :-(

|>1 Star Trek the Game
I wonder which version this one is? I have seen a 3 disk version of ST written
in the Director, that was pretty nice. Is this it? I wouldn't claim it as number
one though. 

|A list that ignores both nethack and hack wasn't trying hard enough.

Amen. I don't really have a favorite 'PD' game. But this list doesn't seem
too great IMHO. They left off Wanderer, also. I love that game.
