>Mean Streets

I've seen Mean Streets on a 10mhz machine with VGA.  It's superb.  But
i've also seen it on a 4.77 mhz machine and it's so slow that it chokes.
The same is true for other Access games (A10-Tank Killer comes to
mind).

These are available for IBM only at this point.

SimCity is available for both Macs and IBMs.  Point of fact: there are
two distinct versions for Macs.  One is about $20 more and will support
color systems.

Other visual games for VGA include Leasure Suit Larry (I, II, and III!),
Zany Golf, Harley-Davidson "The Road to Sturgis", Die Hard, Vette
(though only EGA), JetFighter, Falcon-AT, Blue Angels.

Please note that all of these are commercial software products that are
currently available from your local software store.
