Programs Plus most definitely know the difference between an Apple II and a
GS, they also know the difference between GS specific and GS compatible (in
IIe mode). They have an online database that gives the pertinent information
even if the operator does not know. Just call on their toll-free number (U.S.
or Canada only) and ask if the game has a GS specific version available. Space
Rogue for the Apple II was unimpressive, the graphics were good, but play
lacked in comparison to other Origins adventures. BTW it is possible to
complete the game in 20 minutes with no additional stuff if you know what to
do.

PP has been selling Mac stuff for at least 6 months, probably longer. I have
seen one ad in MacUser, but no more and Mac games have been a part of their
catalog for several months now (in nibble at least). They have not advertised
in the latest issue of nibble, so I too would like to know where they are
advertising. They are probably the best of the mail order companies and
deserve support for all users (Mac as well as Apple II), I have dealt with
them for 4+ years now. ^^^^^from all users

EA no longer supports the Apple II line, Interplay is handling DWGS itself I
guess.

In this case Prosel 16 is likely a better choice since the objective is to
return to a launcher shell. Finder is just too big I guess to be useful in
this person's application. I think this is good advice in the circumstances.
