- Here are some games I've tried on the 4000. Most of them I haven't
- tried by booting in the ECS. I just ran them from AGA like I did
- on my 2000. A few I tried in ECS if they failed in AGA.

- [1] - This failed once when I ran it, and worked all other times.
- I don't know why it failed, but I was able to run it 5 other
- times in a row with no trouble.
-
- [2] - Since this, and the other Psygnosis games I have all fail
- under AGA and even in some cases under 2.04/ECS with fast
- CPU's, I was prompted to write a nastly letter to Psygnosis
- telling them that there games were so buggy that they simply
- failed to run, and would they send me a working version
- please? We'll see what happens.
-
- [3] - I actually had better luck with PD and freeware games than I
- did with commercial games. Mull that one over for a bit.
