Has anyone tried a GEMs game on their Model One MD? I, currently, lack a GEMs game, so I can't try.

Unsure about Jurassic Park, but isn't it common knowledge that Spinball was coded in C? Every time I've played that game, on emulators or hardware, it has seemed to lag. The one time I got a smooth play, was when running it on a 14mhz overclocked model 1.
This lead me to believe it was just the C code using more CPU time. Does anyone here know of other C developed games, and there performance on overclocked vs standard hardware?

The apparent link to GEMS could be because it has a C compatible calling method, meaning that it was widely used in C based games?

I'm 100% sure the C code is compiled and tested on standard hardware before the games are released.
