Hi, All!
I have collected here in comp.sys.sinclair a list of toys based on YS materials.
Help me figure out this stuff, who knows (played or heard something
about them).

In the “TYPE” column, put a letter combination of the following (this classification
is far from perfection, so if you offer the best, I will be glad, as long as
letter combinations are not repeated ;-) )

Classification of computer games.
- ---
1.Adventure games (adventuregames - ADG) - the final goal is set, but the path to achieve it is hidden (sometimes you can only guess about the goal). There are text,
graphic and mixed
2. Arcade games (French arcade - a series of identical arches, arcadegames AG)
3. Imitation games (imitationgames IMG,pseudoimitationgames PSIMG) and adjacent games in the profession (profigames PG)
4.Martial arts games (warriorgames WG) - defeat the enemy with weapons (usually cold or oriental) or without andrelated sports games
5.Board games (logic games LOG) and related card games
6.Strategic games (strategicgames SG)
7.Educational (educational) games (learngames LG):
Games for scholars (eruditiongames ERG)
Language games (languagegames LAG)
Mathematical and simulation games (MG)

Literature used:
1. A. Larchenko, N. Rodionov "ZX Spectrum & TR-DOS"
2."Computer games" edited by prof. M.B.Ignatieva
3. Computer: game, creativity

In the Estimate column, put a rating in the form X-X-X-X-X IMHO this is more informative
than just a rating on a 100-point scale :)

Game rating:
points
Design and graphics 1-5
Music and effects 1-5
Script (where available) 1-5
Plot (theme) 1-5
Friendliness of the interface with the player
(intro, difficulty setting (training
levels)) 1-5

In the Rus.intro column, insert the name of the Russian (CIS) intro maker,
if you know several versions, rate the best one in your opinion.
Thank you all in advance! Answers (from Muscovites and St. Petersburg) preferably with soap
(mas...@satan.spb.su),
so as not to clutter up the echo. Results I undertakepublish.
It is advisable to add games missing from the list only if the
information about their authors is reliable ("Softmaker").

So the list:
