The classic II is far from ancient .. it has a 16 Mhz 68030. My classification for
"Ancient" is 68000 (or older). The 68030 is a reasonably fast processor for certain
games, and you can run some decent things on it. Don't try and run programs like Avara
designed for the 68040 or PPC chips, but games like Bolo (will run on ANY mac
decently, maybe even the original 128k mac), should run fine. You can also play
various arcade games, like Tetris and space invaders. It may be a bit slow, but you
can also obtain a copy of Wolfenstein 3D and play it on the 320x200 resolution. With
Wolfenzoom, you can run it at 640x480 (it stretches it out with virtually NO
performance decrease + great graphics.) Wolfenzoom is an extension, BTW.
There's plenty of 680x0 games at http://www.pure-mac.com.
Hope this is helpful,
Deven
