    Still, doesn't that conflict with the fact the Apple IIGS 
was mentioned on the actual box for Ultima VI? I also do
remember stories (rumours?) that coding had started on a 
IIGS port first, only to be halted very early on. It's hard to 
now imagine they never even had the Apple II on their radar. 

    Ah well, too bad it never came to be, or DreamWorld's
TimeLord, which ironically was written to fill to gap.
