Greetings to you all and a very merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Does anyone know or can anyone recommend any ROM based games for the BBC B
or MASTER. I have a number of machines that are sometimes used for opendays,
and having a demo program in ROM would be very useful, as I have a dearth of
Floppy drives. Games are always the most appealing.

Any ideas, Comments?

Wayne
