There's a crack out there somewhere for Arakanoid and several others.
I don't know where to find it today, as I got them from Big Red
Computer Club's public domain library.
Unfortunately, my IIGS is in storage, but I might be able to make
diskcopy images of the original BRCC disk using my old PowerMac 6500.
I just don't know where to upload them.
I don't have the ability to make shrinkit archives at this time. Maybe
when I move again.
