X68000 Games Technical Details

1. HD install indicates whether the game supports installing to the hard disk drive. If it does, the game will almost always require that at least the main system/program disk is present in Drive 0 when booting up. Most games have no install function whatsoever.
2. Most games don’t mention how much RAM is necessary, so presumably they can be run on 1 MB machines.
3. MIDI support generally includes at least MT-32 synths, however some games don’t support them, as noted below.
