[net.micro.atari] XL incompatible software

johnc@ihuxl.UUCP (J. R. Cray) (02/06/84)

Has anyone out there discovered any software that doesn't boot or run properly
on the new XL series? I have discovered that the following do not load in
properly from disk:

Zaxxon (32K version)
Pool 1.5
Archon
Murder on the Zinderneuf
Worms
Pinball Construction Set
File Manager 800+

The 4 games Archon, Murder on the Zinderneuf, Worms, and Pinball Construction
Set are all Electronic Arts games and they all fail the same way when
attempting to load. Electronic Arts must try to access some illegal vector
in the new OS in their boot sequence.
