Any tricks to get older games working with SE30 and OS6.0.8?

[eebuckeye]

I'm trying to play Loderunner and King of Chicago but neither will work.  Are there any settings I can try to get them or any older game working?

Thanks!

Not sure of those games per se, but I know one of the tricks for very old software is to not use an SE/30.

Some software needs a 68000 chip. Games seem to be the number one culprit here. I know this is a bit obscure in the scope of what we use on here, but an old education game, Dinosaur Discovery Kit, won't run on anything that isn't a 68000. (These things do seem to be chip-specific since they usually will run on a Classic despite being designed in the Plus era).

I think you can play Lode Runner if you don't click the mouse in the screen (stick to key controls). Pretty sure I even played it on 7+, but I do remember it crashing by clicking the mouse. Maybe there's a fix....

With System 6, A trick I learned that allows many older games to run is to make sure that MultiFinder is turned off. I think that is the key to fixing the no mouse clicking in Lode Runner and other games that keep switching to the finder when you click the mouse.

How do you turn off multifinder?

Thanks!
