That sounds very sweet!
Most of them are comtemporary. Very loyal of you!
Genius 3 had a long reign, and so did the recent Hiarcses 6, 7, 7.01.
  I personally made countless tests with my old turbo king 2, when it was new,
and nothing seemed better than it, e.g. Langs Psion, Chessmaster 2001, Zarkovs
2, 2.5, 3. It even one more often against Novags Diablo, and it was winning a
game against Mephistos Lyons if it hadn't fallen into an elementary one move
trap allowing its rook to be attacked by a pawn where there was no escape.
Still, that Mephisto was a later and very expensive program.
