I have been with Mac from the beginning (128K).  I really miss some of the
old games (like Megaroids), but most of them don't work on my IIcx.  I found
a utility called SpeedChopper (CDEV/INIT) at sumex-aim.stanford.edu and d/l
it.  (SpeedChopper slows down the CPU speed by apparently using delay loops)
The only game it seems to work for, however, is Star 'Roids (which is *very*
fun when played at the Mac II's high speeds).  Could I use SpeedChopper in
conjunction with something like ScreenMaster (which crashes on my system) to
play some of the old games.  Has anyone tried this or something else and had
any luck?

Please e-mail.  Thanks.
