     There are a few groups which occasionally release IIgs software as
shareware or for 'commercial sale'.

     Perhaps the new GS-Soft BASIC from Byte Works will inspire more
users to develop games and other fun IIgs stuff to sell. We need both
more good new entertainment software and more software creators who are
willing to _sell_ their stuff.

     The last PC adventure-making package I tried was a few years ago.
"Unlimited Adventures" let you create AD&D adventures which looked and
worked like SSI's 'Gold Box' series-- i.e. like Champions of Krynn,
etc.. Something like this for IIgs would be very nice to have. Perhaps
someone involved with creating Dungeon Master or Bard's Tale/gs could
put together an authoring package and sell it.

     Well, yes, I guess Dungeon Master was the first of the high-realism
super-res, super-sound games.
