Point'n'click games are for a large part pacifistic.
Puzzle games where you save creatures (lemmings, benefactor).
Pinball games.
Economic simulations (sim city, theme park).

This is still doable in the middle of the computation. 68030 would stall but not 68060 (i think).
No free registers ? What are a4/a6 then ?
