Yeah, the company was/is called SubLogic, and they had a bunch of scenary
disks for the II version (and other platforms.)  I remember hearing about
someone at SubLogic doing some prelim. work on a GS version, but I guess
it was just not a good business decision.

Before I got my GS, I used to play Chuck Yeager's Advanced Flight Trainer
on the IIe.  Even though many of the features found on other pc's were
left out of the IIe version, it was fun nevertheless.  I thought I could
make it run faster on the GS, but doing this only made the joystick
unusable :(
