     In terms of number of titles, Asimov is certainly the largest archive of
Apple II games. Nearly all are 8-bit games in disk image form.

     No. Some of the major Apple II archives maintain virtually no out-of-print
commercial games; and, archives which maintain out-of-print commercial games
often offer relatively few freeware/shareware games.

     Another major separator is II vs. IIgs games. The large archives of
out-of-print commercial IIgs games (like 'Fairway and the ACN sites) maintain
relatively few 8-bit games.

     By the time you divide up freeware/shareware vs. commercial And 8-bit vs.
IIgs And disk image vs. ShrinkIt format you have quite a bit of variation among
the game archives.
