I haven't heard one, but note that it was ALL computer lines, not just the
Apple II.  I think a safe assumption is that they decided they could make
more money by concentrating on the Nintendo-style market.

I have two commercial Star Treks for the Apple II (not GS-specific), as I
recall (not being near my software at the moment) published by one of the
traditional book publishers.  I didn't think they were very interesting,
but a true Trekkie might enjoy them.  Then there are Trek-inspired games
such as Reach For The Stars (3rd Edition), published by SSI for the IIGS.
I imagine you can find that at any of the major Apple II mail-order outfits.
