     I attempted to send some mail to the person who has been posting the list
of games and what Amiga they are compatible with, but I don't think it got
throught, so I thought I'd post it to the net for everyone.

TETRIX: (PD)
-------
     DOES NOT WORK on the A3000 under Workbench 2.01 or 2.02, I have not tried
  it under 1.3.  Symptom:  It plays fine for a while but eventually the peices
  keep falling and it locks the computer.

STAR TREK: (PD)
----------
     Sorry, Star Trek, at least the version I have, does not work very well
  under Workbench 2.02 (I have the version written using The Director, with
  all the digitized sound and graphics, a very nice attempt).  The game is
  playable, all the digitized sound and graphics work fine but it will
  occasionally Guru for no apparent reason (I assume this is a problem with
  The Director).  More importantly, the program does not free up all it's
  resources when it finishes.   Star Trek is installed on my hard drive.

ASTERIODS: (PD)
----------
     Seems to work fine under Workbench 2.02, is punctuated with massive
  graphics glitches under Workbench 2.01 but is still playable.  Asteriods
  is also hard disk installable on the A3000.


  Hope this helps, hope this also makes that monthly list.

                                        Latur,
                                                George
