By now (1.99p5) *many* games that didn't work before now do. Ones
that I can think off off the top of my head are:
Rescue
Realmz
Swoop
Space Madness Demo
Sim Life
Sim Tower (reported by Ziv Arazi)
Simcity 2000 (also reported by Ziv)
PegLeg Demo
Deliverance Demo
Wordsmith
On the Edge
Montana
Whenever you try to play a game, be aware that you may need to turn
Pretend Sound on in Executor, *and* turn sound off in the game itself.
It's a shame that you have to jump through these hoops, but there's no
simple solution.

We very much appreciate the thought behind that offer, but we really
don't want donations. Once you've paid for your copy of Executor, you
should keep your remaining money. However, if you want to help us
out, there are many things you can do. One simple thing is to surf
the web and let webmasters know about http://www.ardi.com/ when you
find a site that logically should have a link to ARDI's home page.
Now would be a good time to write letters to magazines, since we're
fairly close to having a beta product. Tell your friends and family.
Send bug reports. Answer questions that appear on the mailing list
(and that will appear on the Usenet group).
It's not that we don't need money -- we do indeed, since we have to
buy a CD-ROM recorder, pay for a three city press tour, and pay for
the first run of Executor 2.0 CD-ROMs, *but* we want everyone to know
that once they pay their licensing fee, we will not only not hit them
up for more money, we'll actively suggest that they *don't* send us
anything extra.
Phil> Keep up the marvelous work, and thanks again.
You're welcome, but please keep your money.
