I posted 3 here:  http://asciiexpress.net/files/antoine/

Moon Patrol and Ms. Pacman have a delay (decompression as part of the
binary).

The base disk image is a DOS 3.3 formatted (slave) dsk file.  I then
just patched it following the Open-Apple notes.  It would be very easy
to change the base disk image to use any loading method as long as it
only uses track 0 with minimal changes to my C code.  Now that I have
something, I'll be experimenting with other methods as I have time.
