That "Top 100" list left off one of the best parts IMO about their #2 game, (http://forum.caravelgames.com/downloads.php) Deadly Rooms of Death, which is that the Freeware version ("Architect Ed.") has 100s of fan made (http://forum.caravelgames.com/holds.php) holds. You could play this game forever and it never gets old.

And as the site says, "The best puzzle series of all time", although it's as much a dungeon-crawl as a puzzle game.

Madagascar o9 o9

I did manage to wipe everyone out but only because I started in Madagascar. The Iggles parasite spread to every country in the world unnoticed, due to having no symptoms, before being upgraded into a horrific, deadly plague.

Pandemic is a bit simplistic in the gameplay aspect but is worth a try.

Funny!

They should also make a joke about that one ship that keeps getting stuck in the Atlantic for months, shuttling back and forth without a port to enter.

Now that you mention it, speaking of real life games there are gobs of stuff out there that could be mentioned.

RPGs:
100s of vignettes: (www.1km1kt.net)
(So many individual ones it's hard to list)
(http://games.dir.groups.yahoo.com/dir/1600057147)

Matrix games:

(http://www.mapsymbs.com/wdmatrix1.html#download)
(http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/MatrixGame2/)
(I personally love matrix gaming because you can do it anywhere, no special equipment, and you can do anything you want, and games still get deeper than most other kinds of games. Sort of in the same vein as Nomic - (http://www.nomic.net/) - another equipment-less game that can get fun and deep.)
