    No, Space Ace was the only arcade laser disc title Readysoft
ported (or should I say *heavily* scaled down) to the Apple IIgs.

    Years ago though, I heard rumours of a partial Dragon's Lair port
being started and then cancelled. There was also evidence that
"Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp" had been completed for the IIgs back
in 1992, but never released because the market was too small by
then. In fact, if you have the original manual for that game (PC or
any other platform), you'll find detailed GS/OS loading instructions
for the IIgs printed inside! I made a scan of it years ago, I believe
it still can be found on the Ground FTP site. In fact... here it is:
