Okay, it's time for a quick survey. In writing my latest article for
Macintosh Horizon's, I rued the fact that there seem to be no decent games
that are MultiFinder compatible. They either require me to reboot to
singlefinder (i.e. CrystalQuest, Dark Castle), are Copy Perverted (Shanghai)
so they don't go on my hard disk, or otherwise do nasty things to my machine
(Shanghai again, which lets me run it under MF, but which REBOOTS MY SYSTEM
when it quits).
So I want to reach into the group mind and see what's out there. I am
looking for games that:
o Aren't Copy Perverted, or run with a key disk so they can be
loaded onto a hard disk
o Run under MultiFinder
o Don't reboot the system when they quit
o Are worth the disk space and time to play.
Shareware/Freeware or commercial are fine. Please send your comments
directly to me, I'll summarize. I can only think of two offhand. Risk, the
not-a-shareware game, and Hack, PD and written in LightSpeed C.
Wanting to play Crystal Quest is no fun when you have 60 pages queued up in
the background printer.....
