A hardware kickstart switcher is almost a must for an A500 set up to play games. Get one and install it with 1.3 and 2.04/3.1 ROMs. You will then be able to play almost any OCS/ECS Amiga game with ease (and it's quicker, easier and less memory hogging than a software ROM switcher). Not that software switchers are bad, they are just a little bit of a pain sometimes if you are changing ROM versions a lot.
