I agree, and I would also like to add this game to the list of well
written games:
      
    Chessmaster 2000: works perfectly under 2.0, and off a hard
disk, and even multitasks.  Very impressive for a game that was
written in 1986, when people had 256k A1000's as a standard system.

I have tried several other games, and most work well.  

The 3000 is a great machine, which I bought because I have some
ideas for applications that I want to write for it.  But since it is
sitting on my desk, I also want to run games on it.  After crashing
the system a few times with my buggy programs, I need to shoot some
evil mutant monster things :)
