****** FOOTNOTES ********
1. Runs fine on 3000, but there are intermittent graphics glitches where
floors and wall seem to disappear or smear.
2. Plays fine on 3000. However all the title pages and intro screens with
"tiles" the graphics are completely messed up. This does not affect game
play at all.
3. Game play is fine on 3000 but the graphics glitch throughout the game. It
is still playable, but annoying.
4. On 3000 game won't even load from floppy. From HD under 2.0 the game hangs
when you try to "Takeoff" from Armament screen. Under 1.3 once you are
in the cockpit the keyboard is hung/frozen.
5. Runs fine on 3000 from floppy only if you boot under 1.3. Won't run with 2.0
6. If run from HD on 3000: under 2.0 the game seems to play fine but if you
hit <esc> to get menus the game crashes. Under 1.3 once in the cockpit
the keyboard is hung/frozen.
7. Game runs fine on 3000 if you are on speed. In other words, the game runs,
but it is VERY VERY fast and nearly impossible to play at this speed.
8. Freezes on title screen under 2.0. Under 1.3, if it loads (sometimes it
does, sometimes not) it plays fine.
9. Doesn't run on 3000. But just a note that if you are running it on another
machine from hard disk you must use the original floppy as a key disk.
10. Plays fine under 2.0 and 1.3 but at accelerated speed on 3000. This doesn't
hinder play for this game.
11. Game runs on 3000 but with massive graphic glitches on the screen at all
times. Not really playable, but it runs.
12. Seems to run fine on 3000. It seems to have minor glitches undere 2.0 like
the sound sometimes disappears.
13. Game seems to load fine on 3000 but as soon as you attempt to move the game
hangs and crashes.
The patches are to change DF0: to something else, like F18: & GRD:.
M denotes a Multitasking Program.

******************* Important Information ************************
If you know a specific way to copy a Game to HD
a brief explanation 'how to' would be welcome...
Some of you have sent PD listings too... Is this a good idea? I mean
PD by definition is free anyway and some of the same games have
different names so shouldn't we leave them out? Your choice.. I'll
Post PD also if enough people request it...
Also When You add to the list It would be nice if you used this format
Game HD 2500/20 2500/30 3000
-------------- ---- ------- ------- ----
Sim City 1.0 No Yes No No
Because it takes a long time to edit everyones output to match
And please specify if the game still needs a floppy key disk...
