I have Shufflepuck Cafe right in front of me.  It may have been beta,
but the game was completely playable.

There were two demos for Sword of Soadan, as I recall: originally it
just showed the first level ("Jump over barrels"), but later a 3-level
version was released, which I still have.

If these interest anyone, let me know whether I should upload them to
comp.binaries.apple2 in base64 (ShrinkIt disk images) or send 'em to
one of the ftp archives.
