I'm really surprised that the System Shock series hasn't received more attention in this poll. I also thought the Battletech series would at least garner
some interest. I have very fond memories playing The Crescent Hawk's Inception and The Crescent Hawks' Revenge. The original MechWarrior is also one of my all-time favorites, though that wasn't part of the series and wasn't really an RPG - at least not by the late 80's standards.
The list makes for a tough choice, though, and I find myself being partial to Ultima due to the fact that so many titles in the series stand out as exceptional (Ultima III, V, VI, Black Gate, and Serpent Isle).
