Thanks to Leo for the tip about Dark Castle and the cache being off.
I have run into a batch of games that will not even load with the
68020 installed. These include
Goldrunner
Karate Kid II
Plutos
Test Drive
Sinbad
Detonator

Speaking od Detonator: This game will not run on a normal Amiga with the
write protect tab set to protect. It is particularly frustrating
because it wants to write high scores to disk. It is basically an Arkanoid
type game. Action seems to be fairly fast but please remember I am no
expert. I really don't expect the disk to last too long because I am sure
either myself or the 10 year old game player in the house will pull it
out before it is finished all cleanup after writes to disk.

The new batch of games seem to be so heavily protected I dont see much
chance of these running on the 020. Again thanks Leo. At least I can
run Dark Castle without detaching my Turbo system.
