Three very fine games that run on mono are

chess.prg (from germany, edited for english by Brent McKim)
(includes an icon editor)

puzzlepuzzle (from germany - shareware)

pool.prg


These are very good mono games. The chess progam alone is enough to
justify a mon monitor (and remember, you need a mono monitor to use
the magic sac)

I have first hand experience of the following games on my monochrome ST:

breakout (arcade game)
cadenza (checkers)
hack (rogue-like game, v 1.0.3)
larn (rogue-like game)
megaroids (asteroids arcade game)
ogre (tank warfare game)

As far as I know, all but the first are PD. I'm sure there are others
floating around; I've heard that 'pool' and 'chess' work on monochrome, but
I haven't tried them myself.
