     Like nearly every other neat IIgs game, it has not been in
distribution for approximately a decade.

     Fortunately(!), someone was willing to establish an archive for old
commercial IIgs software when the last one was hacked into and ruined by
the usual trouble makers. You can find Dragon Wars/gs on Asimov-GS at
...

ftp://apple.cabi.net/pub/applegs/Games/ .


     Dragon Wars is a fine, long-play adventure. Actually, it looks darn
good in double-hires. But, super-res is better and the GS version
includes real GS music.

     If you need the manual and other docs, I'm pretty sure you can
still get them with the DHR version in a nice box for a bargain price
from Shareware Solutions-II (see http://www.crl.com/~joko/games.html )
