Add me to the European list of ppl. who want HD-installable games.
I don't think they should all multitask (don't see Turrican do it)
but how about starting and quitting from workbench/cli. If your
game doesn't need all that wiz-bang system performance, make
it multi-taskable too.

As for stefan: you gave some weird criteria for good games:
written in Assembler, cpu intensive, memory hungry, etc.
I think those are the negative things about some good games
(sometimes you can't avoid it but not allways). The real criteria
are gameplay, gfx and sound, addictiveness, ... Granted, this
usually implies the other stuff but it's not enough for a
game to have the characteristics you mentioned in order to
be good.
