This is a good point.  Sierra used to poor sales of the IIGS versions
of King's Quest I, etc. to justify dropping the Apple II versions.
However, what did they expect?  Like everybody else who would have been
interested, I had long bought and completed that quest in its 8-bit
version.  I would expect very few IIGS owners to be in the market for
the IIGS version by the time it came out.
