Some of these games are unavailable in compatible versions, but are enjoyable nevertheless. I've heard that there is an init available which will make any Mac look like a 68000 Mac with 128 k ROMs. Is this hyperbole or flight of wishful fancy, or does such a lobotomizer exist? It seems a pity to try to make my fancy machine behave in such an obsolete manner, but it would be nice to be able to run some of these nifty games. Also, as an aside, those "RE: SimEarth Goodies" articles I've been seeing are tantilizing but give no descriptions of the cryptic commands described. What is FUND? SHOO? etc. I've got America Online, but have never pursued these bits of wisdom because I never knew they existed. Some knowledgable SimFreak could reply to one of these babies while I try to dig up the information (hint hint) Happy Carniferns Father Barleywine Name: beer dad Internet: rransom@aclcb.purdue.edu Phone: 317 494 1234
