Two words: Brutal Deluxe.
 
Several of the IIGS games released by Brutal Deluxe as freeware are ports
of commercial games which were sold to Mac and PC users. Two such games
that come to mind are The Tinies and Cogito.
 
The Mac/PC commercial games were developed by Kallisto, a French company
that includes several programmers who got their start programming for the
IIGS.
 
Brutal Deluxe is friends with Kallisto, and received permission to
release freeware ports of the games for the Apple IIGS.
