Warren,

Go here: http://www.apple2.org.za/gswv/a2zine/Sel/The202collection.html
and you can see a list of all the DOS 3.3 games that are available for
download on 3.5 disk images. If you have any trouble downloading them,
D3150ARC.zip and D3151ARC.zip, actually aren't there, let me know and
I'll e-mail you all the disks images, with the exception of the two I
mentioned.
