Another edition of "Name that game", but wait, there's a twist!

This one's a bit unusual and I was hoping someone here might be able to figure these out.

Basically there's a little competition going where I've been given nine Chapter names. Each name has been derived from a game name, and I'm trying to find out what game goes for what chapter.

I've managed to figure out 6, maybe 7 of them (they actually seemed pretty obvious), but I have no idea what the remainder are. Anyone here think they know what they are?

Chapter name - Game Name

Beneath a Steel Ground - Beneath a steel Sky
Braniac' Mansion - Maniac Mansion
Loaded Runner - Lode Runner
Night with the Tentacles - Day of the Tentacle
Fall In - Fallout
Ascent - Descent
The Great Exit - The great escape?

More of Hints -
Better Fly Like a Condor -

I'm not sure about "the great escape" since it's primarily the name of a book and film. I keep thinking it might be in reference to something else.

    You are aware that all of those are stage names from Archibald's Adventures, right?

    I'm curious what competition is so lazy as to wholesale rip off something else.

    Um, the competition is for Archibald's Adventures. :lol:

    Although I'm surprised I'm not the only one on the planet right now who knows about it. :)

    It's actually a pretty good little puzzler.

    Betrayal at Krondor? My best guess, ha.

    More of hints - Morrowind?

    Phonetically it almost lines up...

    Phonetically yes, it almost does, but looking at the other games, it doesn't fit at all. Those are all old games, whereas Morrowind is still considered to be rather recent.

    That sounds like it might be right.

    I wouldn't necessarily dismiss Morrowind on age, they don't all have to be old classics.
