(picking nits further) It depends how you define port. The game might have
been written for some other computer originally, but the IIGS version
is a nearly direct port from the Nintendo code, which
Bill wrote.

Adding my 2 cents: It is a great game. I got a bad disk so haven't
seen the IIGS version yet, but the IBM VGA version is nice, if
a bit lacking in sound. The IBM version has a very annoying
codewheel protection (must look stuff up twice) and the IIGS
has none. :)
