The Apple IIGS was great. My parents still have theirs plugged in, and much of the software still works. When I go back home to visit my 6 year old is one of the few in this generation that has the ability to play "Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?" the way it was meant to be played.
@BrianPicchi - LOL! It was 3am when I wrote that. But it is a great game. I seriously remember spending many a weekend as a kid playing it. But I had the DOS version. You GS owners were lucky because the sound and music is ALOT better than the PC version.
Revenge of DoH is amazing. Best breaker-style game ever. Silpheed is really good too. I had Gnarly Golf, which I preferred to Zany Golf. King's Quest IV was really good on the IIGS I thought. I played Xenocide a lot, remember that one? It is pretty incredible how few game titles there were actually...
The first personal computer that I owned, and I used it as my main computer for something like NINE years. I had many of those games. I think I spent the most gaming time playing Crystal Quest and Tunnels of Armageddon, and there was a empire-building strategy game called Reach for the Stars that I really liked too.
The Immortal, Tunnels of Armageddon, Thexder, Zany Golf, and anything by Sierra Online definitely make my list! The IIgs was a sweet machine for it's day!
Not too surprised. Apple didn't exactly endorse or market the Apple IIGS. Couple that with the fact a stock iigs only ran at 2.8 mhz and you had a computer with no where to go. Still it was an awesome little machine with impressive sound and graphics capabilities and a sweet software library to boot
