The jet fighter flight simulator Falcon 2.0 will not run on any
machine sporting a 68030 processor, including the Mac IIcx, the SE/30
and the IIci.  I too am a registered owner and just upgraded from an
SE to an SE/30 only to find that my favorite F-16 would no longer fly!

A phone call to the program developers (Spectrum HoloByte,
415-522-3584) informed me that an '030 upgrade may be available within
a few weeks.  So don't bail out yet!
