Mark, its not that the Mac II is incompatable with other Macs, its that the
software you are attempting to use is not compatable with your Mac II for
a variety of reasons. Some software was written to be hardware specific, this
causes alot of problems. Some software relies on the alternate screen buffer
that the Mac II does not have. Some software was created with compilers
that just do not generate code that works with the 68020. And I am sure there
are some other reasons as well. A variety of the older games that you mention
probably fall into one of the above categories....
