[comp.sys.mac.games] Opinions anyone?

Okay, if I can get some opinions on some games I've been thinking about buying,
I'd really appreciate it.  Here are the following:

StarFlight, put out by Electronic Arts.

Wizardry I or II, put out by Sir Tech USA

NetTrek: The Real Version, put out by Premier Technology

Or, if you feel strongly about another game you've played, I'm open to 
suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

Well, StarFlight is a good game in a game mechanics sense, but it is a direct
port from ibm-land, and suffers from laziness on the part of the authors.
IBM CGA graphics are mapped directly to the mac screen, and they are UGLY.
(they map 4 mac pixels to 1 ibm pixel, so everything is big and chunky)

Wizardry I and II are great games if you are into fantasy games like D & D. I
have both and have loved them.  I also enjoyed the other three that were
released for the Apple.  If it's your genre, buy it.
