Re: Apple IIgs Gaming Questions

[Lockar <lockar@locutus.DOTorg>]

   EOS works on an Apple //e, //c, //c+ and the Apple //e card for
Macintosh.  You really need to run it on the Apple //c+ because the
game it's self is so slow when it comes to taking turns.  But yes the
game came out after the Apple //gs has been out, ROM 03 was out (I
think) when the game came out.  

    I actually like the game. It can get borning after you basicly won
the game (because it keeps going), but It's fun to play from time to
time. LOL
