Me, too (primarily).

More accurately, there aren't many, even ones that could readily be ported,
and there have been few recent releases for the IIGS.  However, there are
several good IIGS games, including some that are not available for other
brands of computer.  Here are ones that I recall at the moment that I own
and would recommend, in roughly descending order of personal preference:

	Xenocide (Micro Revelations)
	probably Cosmocade (ditto); is this available yet?
	Dungeon Master (FTL?)
	Alien Mind (PBI)
	Shanghai (Activision)
	Tunnels of Armageddon
	Arkanoid I and II (Taito)
	probably Rastan (Taito)
	Thexder (Sierra)
	Bard's Tale I and II
	Space Quest I and II (Sierra)
	Keef the Thief
	Qix (Taito)
	Leisure Suit Larry I (Sierra)
	King's Quest I, II, III, and IV (Sierra)
	Police Quest I (Sierra)
	Strip Poker II (Artworx)
	Deja Vu I and II (ICOM)
	Uninvited (ICOM)
	Life and Death (Berkeley SoftWorks)
	Where in the (World/USA) is Carmen Sandiego? (Broderbund)

There are others that I haven't yet played enough to form an opinion,
and probably some that I simply forgot to mention.
