Apple IIGS (50 Games)

The Apple IIGS, the fifth and most powerful of the Apple II family, is a 16-bit personal computer produced by Apple Computer, Inc. While featuring the Macintosh look and feel, and resolution and color similar to the Commodore Amiga and Atari ST, it remains compatible with earlier Apple II models. The "GS" in the name stands for "Graphics and Sound," referring to its enhanced multimedia hardware, especially its state-of-the-art audio.

I had no idea it was capable of these types of games. All I got was Karatika, Oregon Trail, and Odell Lake. My parents have a lot to answer for.

[johnross]

As I watch this I grow more excited to pick up a working IIGS tomorrow. My floppy emu is going to be working hard!

[cylack]

Brings back such memories. My brother, I, and our neighborhood friends were addicted to playing IIGS games from '87-'90. One of the great games you don't have on this list is "Skate or Die", a skateboarding game that was pre-Tony Hawk games.

[scottieb]

Xenocide blew my mind as a little kid. I used to like missing the bugs with the gun to see/hear them splat on the windshield. What this video doesn't show, though, is that the following levels were completely different styles of gameplay. Another game I loved was the IIGS version of Hardball! which was one of the better versions. Accolade made some good games for the IIGS. Thanks for the video!

[tchang]

Interesting, the IIGS version of Thexder has tracking laser while in jet mode! Other versions of Thexder the jet mode only has forward shooting fixed laser gun.

[RetroGamesCouple]

FW for a good start of the year. A great collection of games!! Have a happy new year Retro-Friend!

[modernandretrogaming]

That platform has so many great and amazing games.

[marklechman]

Prince of Persia also runs on pre-IIgs Apple IIs. It’s actually an 8-bit game, unlike the rest mentioned.

[someoneoncesaid]

Dungeon Master was my favorite. I played it so much that my dreams were in the 3d maze. The interface was clunky and movement wasn't smooth, but it could still have some good action when fighting using multiple players. The video shown wasn't a very good representation of some of the better action in the game.

[lurkerrekrul]

Dark Castle - Probably the only game where the hero trips on absolutely everything. Outside of the Apple/Mac world, this game was pretty much universally hated.

LemminGS - There's no need to use a blocker to trap another lemming and then blow him up, just put the blocker near the obstacle and blow HIM up.

[camberiu]

Had its CPU speed not been crippled by Steve Jobs, it would have outclassed even the Amiga.

[bradr]

I think my favorites were the 5 disc space ace and three stooges

[mikemoore-hehim]

how about the theme songs? The IIgs had maybe the best sound of the time ~

[amerigocosta]

Interesting that some games look like the Amiga, while other seem to be untouched straight ports from DOS or even C64. It seems like an iffy scrolling capability is its main obvious flaw. Other than that I guess that's a pretty capable and underrated machine. It reminds me of the Acorn Archimedes.

[potomax]

Is the tinies related to fury of the furries in anyway?

[mal-avcisi]

the device was much better than the apple macitosh, why was this computer not pushed ?
