	Yeah!  I'd like to discuss if the copyrights have run out yet!

	I've played most of these, back when my roomie ran the Midnight
Apple Dump (MAD) BBS from our dorm room.  My personal favorites were
Beach Head I and II, Robotron 2084, Stellar 7, Dino Eggs, and Death
Sword on his IIe.  For my IIgs, they all worked fine, but I still think
Thexder has to be one of the best despite being one of the first.  A
true Golden Oldie so far as the GS in concerned.

	I remember some from my high school days.  Anybody remember
Gobbler, or the Star Castle clone?  How about Bomber from Educational
Computing magazine, and the various Night Driver versions?

	Ah, the heady feeling of nostalgia...
