Heroes. I think it's 320x200, but you may want to try adding
-2 to the run line in the !Run file.
Penguin command 800x600 x 16bbp or 32bpp depending on the
mode you start it in.
Rock dodger 640x480x16bpp
Rocks and Diamond and xu4 run in a window so it shouldn't matter.
Apart from the heroes mode, aren't the others in a standard
MDF file?
On my Iyonix even heroes runs (though in a letterbox as I suspect
it chose a higher resolution mode)
I thought the MDF had to be tuned for a specific monitor so it
would be impossible to provide simple MDFs for all monitors.

Many thanks for that.
Nebulous is a masterpiece. However, it's a shame that even a Commodore
64 can play this game faster as my ancient A7000+. And it's also a shame
that people come always across the same concepts. No new ideas?
My favourite games are still Elite, Darkwood and Ixion (on the RISC OS
platform). These games are brilliant, in spite of their ages, and I'm
sure, there are much more by me undiscovered great games.
