It came with my first Macintosh (an SE in 1997 or so) and it amazed me at the time. Who would think that you could play video games on that 9" black and white screen? It is even more amazing because Spectrum Holobyte Tetris has run on every machine I've tried it on -- even Mac OS X. Most games would simply refuse to run because they expect a black and white display, or simply crash. The sound was pretty good too. It was far better than the MS-DOS games I grew up on. A guy I worked with told me that Beyond Dark Castle was another great game for the Plus. He also mentioned Bolo (it is some sort of networked multiplayer game). As for the G3: I think the drive will work with 800 kB floppies. I seem to recall one of the issues with the iMac being the lack of support for 800 kB diskettes (since the USB units are 1.44 MB and maybe 720 kB).
