Okay, no matter what system I have setup (UAE-on-a-ZIP/3.1, my A1200/3.0 with no keyboard, my old A500/2.1 at home with the burnt-out hard drive from six years ago...) I just cannot live without:

   Ed          - It's small, fast and works, but needs 'Alias Ed "Run Ed <>NIL: "' in your 'S:shell-startup' to be really useful.
   KingCON     - Get it.  Now.
   VisualPrefs - I like to pretty things up at the pixel level and visitors to my screenside have said "Where can I get this OS for my PC?"
   ARexx       - If only it had a compiler, we could rid ourselves of all other languages (including English!).  I was working on a compiler at one point, and I'm doing Programming Language Implementation at Uni. next semester, maybe it's not too late?
   PPaint      - Decals don't make themselves.
   Cinema4D    - Neither do 3D renders.
   DeliTracker - Hooray for music whilst you work.
   OctaMED SS  - Damn fine package.
   HappyENV    - Very Happy.

Other things that are further down the tree, but none-the-less important (in no particular order):
Wordworth, FinalWriter, TurboCalc, gcc, javac, AmiTradeCentre, AWeb, Miami, YAM, TaskiSMS, Organiser, DOpus, MagicMenu, ToolsPrefs and others which I can't remember but may be just as important.

Games that are great:

   The Settlers
   Hired Guns
   Syndicate
   Dune 2
   Super Skidmarks
   Sensible Soccer
   WizKid
   Sim City 2000

And others that slipped the net.

I just had this sensation of Deja Vu that I've written a list similar to this before around here...  I wonder if it's changed much?
