001- Where can I get Apple II games, game docs, hints, pics, etc., and
game-creation programs?
There are many places you can get Apple II gaming software and information:
o- Local Apple II Users Group (may be part of a Mac Group in your area)
o- Sellers of original and second-hand software (See ads on the
comp.sys.apple2.marketplace newsgroup and some of the sites,
like KulaSoft, listed later. Also check the list of vendors
in the Csa2 FAQs 'Main Hall' file. )
o- Questions/requests posted to comp.sys.apple2 and comp.emulators.apple2
o- Apple II software and information archives on the net (See links for game
download and game information sites in Csa21MAIN3.txt Apple II Web Sites.)

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/how can I get new Levels for Wolfenstein-3D/gs?
You can find a whole bunch of levels at Sheppy's site. They are Mac levels that you'll have to run through the converter, but they are in Apple II friendly ShrinkIt format rather than Stuffit.

From: Rubywand
A good place to look for the new Mac-to-GS converter utility is ftp://ftp.sheppyware.net/pub/apple_iigs/ . The new converter utility is shareware named WolfCvt101.bxy. The same folder contains a Wolf scenarios folder. It has a few ready-to-play Levels.
