Hmm, if the game came out after the IIgs, then the game is not prior to 
1986, therefore it would be possible for it to see the IIgs as a IIgs.

Therefore the question about why it does not run on a IIgs has nothing 
to do with my assertion that the IIgs looks like a IIe to all games 
prior to 1986.

My conclusion is that the designers decided to not allow it to run on a 
IIgs deliberately and that is why it does not run.

Thankx,
