It's really tough for me to swallow the idea of the original Wizardry, Might and Magic, or even the recently-talked-about Dragon Wars not ending up on a "Best RPGs of the 1980s" list, but considering that the list was confined to only five titles, I can't argue that Pool of Radiance, The Bard's Tale, Wasteland, and Ultima IV are all well-deserved mentions:
My only real argument would be that Curse of the Azure Bonds - while excellent - did not push the envelope enough from what we experienced in Pool of Radiance to put it above the entirely new and unique experience offered by the aforementioned games.
