I believe that there is a version of DiscQuest available for the IIgs.
That makes all DiscQuest disks useable.  DiscQuest has neat things
like the Shakespeare CD (two versions of everything on the CD:
"classic" Queen's English, and the Americanized version), and probably
and Encyclopedia.

IMHO, it's worth getting a CD drive even if all you do is maybe think
about getting a IIgs disk.
