I've just tried Megaroids (haven't played it for some time) and it
bombs. I then tried it under an older System/Finder and it worked
fine. So... Does anyone out there know of a patch for Megaroids
that will make it work under the latest system and finder? I also
have the same request for Snake Adventures. I believe the problem
has something to do with some use of memory areas by Megamax C (the
language these games were written in) that was not guaranteed by
Apple to stay in the same place, and they didn't.

I'd also like a patch for Defender so that I can use the Zap bombs.
They used to work on my Plus, but now on my SE the righthand command
key (or is it the option ket that used to be there on the old keyboard?)
which was used for Zap bombs doesn't exist. Any one out there know of
a solution for this?
