Well *I* did. I'm very pleased that Uninvited and ShadowGate still work. I'm annoyed that Pinball Construction Set (Electronic Arts) is completely dead, and I'm sore at Microsoft for reneging on an explicit promise to update Flight Simulator. (At the press conference when the SE and II were announced, Microsoft's press release said they would be updating *all* their software for the new machines. They mentioned FlightSim by name. They lied.) Other games that work on the II: Golf 1.0 (you can even edit the PICT resources to color the face cards, if you like); Brickles 8.0; Nord and Bert Couldn't Make Head or Tail of It; and MacWrite 5.0 (sure it's a game: just watch the spelling checker in action!). >Michael Portuesi / Information Technology Center / Carnegie Mellon University >ARPA/UUCP: mp1u+@andrew.cmu.edu BITNET: rainwalker@drycas Ephraim Vishniac ephraim@think.com Thinking Machines Corporation / 245 First Street / Cambridge, MA 02142-1214 On two occasions I have been asked, "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?"
