	Not that I know of, but here's my own personal 'Top 10' game list,
completely off the top of my head! :) Note that order is completely random,
expect for #1 in each catagory. 

Top 10 IIGS games                Top 10 Apple II (8-bit) games
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~                ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 1) Out of This World 	          1) Prince of Persia
 2) The Immortal                  2) Wings of Fury
 3) Zany Golf                     3) Air Heart
 4) Task Force                    4) Captain Goodnight
 5) Thexder                       5) Beyond Castle Wolfenstein
 6) Arkanoid I & II               6) Karateka 
 7) SpaceFox                      7) Space Rogue
 8) Rastan                        8) Ultima series (I,II,III,IV,V)
 9) Xenocide                      9) Auto Duel
10) DuelTris                     10) Black Magic

(Had they been finished, add "TimeLord" and "Sword of Sodan" to GS list)

There are many more, but these are the most visually stunning and creatively
done games I've seen (give or take a few arcade ports above). With the 
except of one or two, these games simply have mind-blowing animation,
graphics, music and sounds...or at least in terms of game play and level 
of entertainment! :) Having been an Apple II user for nearly twelve years,
in all my experience, these are the ground-breaking games done for the
Apple II during that time. I'm sure some of you have different opinions,
though most will agree those 20-22 above fit somewhere in a top 10 list! :-)
