Well *I* did.  I'm very pleased that Uninvited and ShadowGate still
work.  I'm annoyed that Pinball Construction Set (Electronic Arts) is
completely dead, and I'm sore at Microsoft for reneging on an explicit
promise to update Flight Simulator.  (At the press conference when the
SE and II were announced, Microsoft's press release said they would be
updating *all* their software for the new machines.  They mentioned
FlightSim by name.  They lied.)

Other games that work on the II: Golf 1.0 (you can even edit the PICT
resources to color the face cards, if you like); Brickles 8.0; Nord
and Bert Couldn't Make Head or Tail of It; and MacWrite 5.0 (sure it's
a game: just watch the spelling checker in action!).

     On two occasions I have been asked, "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put
     into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?"
