Why do you oppose the concept of playing color games on a Macintosh II?  I
suppose you'd also be opposed to running A/UX on a Mac II - after all, I can
go out an buy a small 32-bit computer just for that purpose [say a Sun3/60]
Seriously, the Mac II is a _general purpose_ machine.

Those of use who own one for personal use would like to have the ability to
play games, preferably in color.  After spending several thousand dollars on
a Mac II system I see no reason why I should go out and shell out money for
another system just to play games.
