Even without a SS, I never understood Origin did not make a conversion
of Ultima 6. The PC version did include EGA support, which is 16 colors
and does of course not look as good as VGA, but it is sufficiant.

Also, I would consider Kings Quest more like an adventure, and if you
are looking for brand-new adventures, you should check out all those
text-based inform games available at ftp://ftp.gmd.de/if-archive.
With a new interpreter to be released very soon, there will be more
than 50 new games be playable on the IIGS.
