A very nice multitasking game that was in comp.binaries.amiga (I think)
a long time ago is Asteriods.  I frequently set vt100 up to download to
DF1: with Kermit and start up Asteriods on another screen and play away until
kermit is done!  It multitasks very well and has digitized sound effects. and
I only have 512k!  I have yet to see an IBM clone that can compare.

Infocom games multitask nicely too.
