    Cool list, but I was a little disappointed to find that the versions of Myst, Riven, and SimCity are not actually the original ones I played way back when, but instead “updated” versions. I was hoping for genuine nostalgia there. However, one thing that SHOULD be on this list is “The Labyrinth of Time,” because that was a particular awesome find and was one of the very first games of this kind. Plus, they haven’t altered anything. (And, in fact, it’s better than ever because my CD-Rom copy had a glitch that always froze it when I got to the ziggurat… I was finally able to complete the game!)
