[for the duration of this post, when I say "Apple //", I'm not
including the gs]

Most Apple // games require only 48k RAM.  The //e has 64, and the //c
has 128.  To be on the safe side, you should have 128k to be sure you
can run all the games.  You can buy (quite cheaply) the extra RAM for
your //e, and the //e is much more expandable, also.  If it matters,
the //c has an earphone jack, while you'd hafta do some sector editing
or wiring to get one on the //e.  Both the //e and the //c can be
plugged right into anywhere where you see a standard "Video In" jack.
If you're only doing games, you probably don't need a fancy monitor;
just use your TV/VCR.
