003- Which IIgs games will not run on a ROM 3 IIgs?

     Some older GS games have been converted to run on a ROM 3. These are games that I found to not work (I tried all versions):

MJ Basketball
Shuffle Puck
Captain Blood
Skate Or Die
Star Wizard

and one demo:

Weaky Demo

-------------------------------------

Update

     I found a version of Streets Sports Soccer that runs on ROM03--its the one without the crack screen on bootup. So that game is gone from the list now.

004- Where can I find out about Infocom & Infocom-style games
     I can play on my Apple II?

     A good start is a series of fantasy game articles published in the August through November 1999 issues of GS WorldView. These are now interlinked for easy perusal.

     The articles cover 1990's interactive fantasy competition releases, Infocom's Lost Treasures I and II, a 'missing Lost Treasure', plus some more recent Zork releases. A convenient way to get into the articles is to go to GSWV's Archive via http://home.swbell.net/rubywand/GSWVlink.html and click on "Infocom & Infocom-type Adventures".
