I know of several games that work on a Mac II. All are either shareware
or freeware; I don't spend big bucks on games so I can't tell you about
any commercial ones. The following seem to work just fine:

	1000 Miles, by Robert Harris (shareware $10)
	Solitaire, by Ron Aldrich (free)
	MacHeads, by Michael Yourshaw (free, but he likes postcards)
	Scarab of RA, by Rick Holzgrafe (shareware $10)

Rather than try to slip something by you :-), I'll confess that I wrote
"Scarab of RA". (I hope no-one minds a mildly commercial bent to this
attempt to help out a fellow gamer!)  Scarab and the other games are
available from the usual shareware and public sources, and I think they've
all come across the net in the last year or so; check your local archive.
(Don't write to me for copies of anything; that's why Scarab is shareware!)

A message went by on the net a while back, from someone whose name I've
forgotten. He said Scarab got CoPr errors on a Mac II. I'd like to hear
the details of that, because although I haven't rigorously tested it on
the Mac II it seems to work fine on mine.  I recommend you invoke the
shareware purchaser's privilege, and try it for a while before sending
money. If it bombs, I'd appreciate a note describing the circumstances.

Because of where I work, I must be extra careful about this disclaimer:
"Scarab of RA" and Apple Computer have *nothing* to do with each other.
I have no relationship with the other authors mentioned above, except
as a happy user of their games.
