Check the site.  It has good stuff.  Many of the things there were
just released Summer 1998.

Also, it has pointers to other new software.  Did you know that
Wolfenstein 3D (you know, not Castle Wolfenstein, but the
3D one that has a Doom style world) was just released for the
IIGS in February of this year and that it is free?

Sirius is a memory card that Alltech makes and sells.  It takes
1MB SIMMs, the 30 pin kind that can be found used for
a $1 a piece or less.  Can go from 0 to 8MB.  This means
that an 8MB IIGS should not be too expensive to configure.
