>Why not?  What excuse is there for no port of this to the IIGS?  

   (1) Most of the classics are runnable without any form of emulator
needed-- they were ported a long time ago to the Apple II.

   (2) Fast animation on a GS is real art best tuned to the specific
things to be drawn. Easy solutions tend to be the slow ones. 

   (3) Emulation tends to bog down some of fastest processors on the
market to being slow. I hate to break this news to you, but the GS
isn't quite that fast to begin with. (See #2 above). 

   (4) Piracy sucks. Go away.
