- Well, Blox and HacMan II, which you can FTP from atari.archive, both
- work on all Atari machines (including the Falcon). Blox supports DMA
- sound, but only if your register. These games even let you return to
- your work after playing without leaving your desktop totally trashed.
- (What a concept!)
-
- Both of these games are by the editors of ST Format. Oh, WAIT A
- SECOND, they're actually by me. Sorry. Shouldn't let myself get
- so absorbed in these Atari magazines. :-|

- Games that don't run from hard drive are EVIL!
-
- All opinions are IMHO. (Well, you asked...)
