Same rules as before, this time for 2007.

Notes:

While I easily recognise the big names on this list, I can't help but feel that this list is a bit short, let me know if I've missed your favourite here.

Nethergate is counted as being a different game to Nethergate: Resurrection for the purposes of these polls.

Everything except Flame Dragon Plus and Hexplore.
EDIT:
Descent to Undermountain and Dink SmallWood are 1998 games too.

Gates of Skeldal is missing.

Thanks, added.

Magic and Mayhem was also released 1998 in Europe.

I spent a lot of time looking around at info on this and after multiple confirmations I went with the first line on the wiki page as being probably the general consensus "Magic & Mayhem, also known as Duel: The Mage Wars in North America, is a fantasy/mythology-themed real-time strategy game designed by Julian Gollop".

I read one summary which said "It's a game with a little bit everything, but nothing in that great a depth".

So it doesn't really compete as an RPG while also being primarily a strategy game, so I left it off. For this one you'll have to convince me to add it.

Fallout 2 must not fall below 95%, or we are all doomed.

I am well aware where the quote comes from, that's beyond the point IMO, but I guess it comes across as mute here. Either way, back to ''on-topic'' - Fallout 2 has fallen to 94%!

Side-note: is Fowyr's signature really allowed in this forum, how is this not a ban/suspension?

If Fowyr wants to be a racist asshole by having a signature like that then so be it. We aren't going to ban him for it or make him change it. That would be discriminatory!

Oh, I was wrong in the firt post. Best Avellone's Game is not 1998, it's Christmas '97, but Dink Smallwood is a 1998 game fair and square.

Yes, both those games will be in the 1997 lists as they were both released in 1997.
