Games that work just fine on my SE/30:
Solitaire Royale Recommended
PT 109 Highly recommended
The Colony Interesting graphics, but the game is damned annoying
Mean 18 Highly recommended
Phraze Craze (AKA Wheel of Fortune; shareware)
1000 Miles (AKA Mille Bornes; shareware)
Crystal Quest Some people love it, I find the only-shoot-in-the-direction-
you-move to be annoying, and the difficulty increase to be
too steep.
Beyond Dark Castle However you feel about Dark Castle, you'll feel the
same about this.
Fool's Errand Great of you like puzzles, a waste otherwise.
Racquetball Most interesting in two player mode (requires two networked
Macs)
SLOTS (The old public domain one with keno where you have
to reset the Mac to exit)
missile command (public domain)
Games that do not work:
Falcon 2.0 (As has been noted, Spectrum Holobyte knows, and has been working
on a fix for over three months).
Arkanoid (Again, Discovery Software knows and plans a patched version
"sometime soon".)
Dark Castle
Gato
Cairo Shootout (public domain)
Games that mostly work:
Orbiter Everything is fine, except it won't talk! I thought the problem
was with my version of MacinTalk, but I have a demo hyperstack
that talks just fine.
