	Hallelujah!  Someone else noticed!

	Okay.....  Here's a *partial* list of the games I'd like to see
written for the Amiga ("Rating" field is subjective):

Rating	Title			Publisher		Available for
------	-----			---------		-------------
*******	Jumpman			Epyx			C64
***	Rescue on Fractalus	Epyx/Lucasfilm		Atari 800
****	BallBlazer		Epyx/Lucasfilm		Atari 800
****	Wizard			Progressive Peripherals
				 and Software		C64
**	Wayout			Sirius			C64
****	Epoch			Sirius			Apple
***	Impossible Mission	Epyx			C64
*****	Realm of Impossibility	Electronic Arts		C64
***	Raid on Bungeling Bay	Br0derbund		C64
**	Castle Wolfenstein	???			Apple
*****	M.U.L.E.		Electronic Arts		C64
****	Forbidden Forest	Cogsci?			C64
**	Choplifter		Br0derbund		Apple
**	Spare Change		Br0derbund		C64
****	Blue Max		Synapse			Atari 800
***	Fort Apocalypse		Synapse			Atari 800
****	Shamus			Synapse			Atari 800
****	(Just about anything else by Synapse)		Atari 800
**	Q-Bert			???			Coin-op

******	Robotron: 2084		Williams		Coin-op

	Furthermore, I might be convinced to help write any game with four
or more stars.  All I would need is access to any algorithm I couldn't
divine on my own.  (This is a *BIG HINT*, everyone...)

	Anyone else got favorites?
