Does anyone have any comprehensive lists of what quality commercial 
games can be run from a hard disk?  I would expect there are several
catagories:

(1)	Games which can be installed simply by copying the distribution
	to the hard disk and setting up a few assigns in your
	startup sequence (I shouldn't need more than one hand
	to count these...)

(2)	Games which can be installed by using one of the commercial
	disk copier / copy breaker type programs, and then installed
	as in (1), possibly with some additional poking and patching
	of the binaries to remove things like hardcoded references
	to df0:.

(3)	Games which can be installed by obtaining a copy from a
	pirate that has spent mucho time cracking the game and
	getting it running.  As usual, the bad guys get convenient
	usage and the good guys get the shaft...  :-(

	(I'm only interested in (1) and (2)...)

I'm having a party in a couple weeks and I'd like to set up the
machine so several games are available and there are no loose
floppies laying around to wander off.
