    I've lost track, the majority of them have been shelved due to 
licensing and copyright issues (rather odd, you'd think he would
have gotten the rights _before_ writing the software, not after).

    From what I remember: Bard's Tale III, Mario Teaches Typing,
SimCity, Catacomb Abyss, Wolfenstein 3-D and several other games
(including some Apogee PC titles). Wolf 3-D will fortunately be
released by Christmas though, thanks to the help of others.
