Well, this is what I have so far: Blockout – 3-D tetris like! A must for Tetris fans!!!! Great!!! Multi-tasks beautifully!!! BattleChess- Need I describe it. Multitasks well. (Why is it the only Interplay game to do it???) MindWalker- Yes, the old classic. Works well, except the sprite shows through on other screens. Hacker II- Great! I got it for $9.00 and it is still fun!!!! Rocket Ranger- Slows some things to a crawl while doing it, but it does work. Notice: I have played with many games that multi-task but WON'T TURN OFF!!!! I had a pirate copy of Thexder which multitasked, but would not stop!! (Don't worry, I erased it over a year ago!) Marble Madness I couldn't get to stop. P.O.W. (Not true of Capone) worked but wouldn't stop!! Pioneer Plague- "" Dragon's Lair II – Won't let me access my drives!!! Better Dead than Alien- Stops Multi-tasking while game is playing. Crazy Cars (A broken copy worked, and stopped (^C) but didn't return memory!) Tetris has open close gadgets but couldn't get it to multitask!!! (But it was a friends and I only had a few hours to try!) Well, that's it so far! Tell me, is it that hard to get a game to have an exit and free mem??? Please add to this…. Thanx!
