 The following is a reply I got from Sierra in 1991 after I found out
that they were dropping support for GS users. Let them know how you feel!

Hi Randy,
 
I'm sorry that you and your family are disappointed with Sierra's lack of
support for the Apple IIGS.  I do understand your concerns and frustrations
with this issue.  However, I do have some good news.  There will be a
company taking over our Apple products and may develop our new games for the
IIGS (I'm not sure).  However, I do not know as of yet the name of the
company, but I do know that the project is in the works.  There may be some
information on this issue in our next Sierra Magazine.  If you don't receive
one, please let me know and I'll place one in the mail for you.  It should
be out in about a month to month and a half.  I hope this news brings a
little bright light to this issue.
 
Thanks,
 
John/Sierra On-Line Rep
