You have to remmember that EA software has been known to go in
smokes since the coy rotection they used trashes the disk sometimes
a friend of mine lost his versions of DeluxePaint and Artic Fox and
they had very little use too.  I haven't heard of Braticus but if
it isn't a EA game then it probably will run forever.  Anyways, I
though the instruction set for the MC68010 was the same as the
instruction set of the MC68000 so I don't understand why the games
won't work??
