Something you have to watch out for is that some games written for the older Macs had no speed control code, they'd just run as fast as possible. Thus they become unplayable on newer Macs because they run super fast. (Same problem as with early games written for the PC and PC/XT boxes.) ===== "Why do Zik-Zak Burgers come in plastic packs?
