After all this tirading about games that won't work on hard disks or
while tele-downloading, has anyone compiled a comprehensive list of
the various games and how they fare?  Perhaps we need a rating system:

XXX - Totally takes over machine and forces you to power off to reset 
      afterwards.  This program is totally obscene.

X -  Takes over machine, won't multitask, must reboot afterwards.

R - takes over machine while running, won't multitask, cleans up when done.

PG - doesn't take over machine, multitasks but makes life difficult due
     to game side-effects (uses mouse port, requires disk inserted in
     floppy at all times, etc.)
  
G - doesn't take over machine, multitasks well, fun for the entire family.
