Iron Helix isn't as bad as everyone says it is. Rebel Assault isn't as buggy as everyone says it is. Some good CD games: Inca (and the upcoming Inca II), Sam & Max Hit the Road (very funny), Gabriel Knight (nice interface), C.H.A.O.S. Continuum (a tad sluggish, but intriguing), The Horde (game of the year?), Castles II (the way multimedia games *should* be made), SimCity CD (outrageous!), 7th Guest, Alone in the Dark, Shadowcaster, Myst, Return to Zork, Flight Sim Toolkit... and others. Or save your bucks for Under a Killing Moon, Narcopolis, The Dig, Ultima 11 (with 3-D headset), Outpost, etc. By the end of the year (I hope) 80 percent of all new games will come out first (and perhaps only) on CD.
