	You said it!  I own a few dozen commercial games, and I like them
fine (even though they are copy protected).  However, the games that
get the most playing time by FAR are:

		Tetrix		(PD Tetris)
		Bally III	(PD Qix-like game)
		Larn		(PD by the Software Distillery)

These all multitask just FINE.
