    Well I have the Uninvited by Icom Simulations which is distributed
by Mindscape and it works great. While all the bitmapped graphics is
limited in screen size relative to the Mac II screen, all the other
windows are resizable, etc. 
   Another program I'm sure is Mac II compatible is the 'Alice' game
from Apple. It was written by Steve Capps and seems to work rather well
but it is IMPOSSIBLE to beat since it is so fast.
