Yeah, I ported Tim Stoehr's Rogue Clone III to the GS.  It's a plain-vanilla
rogue, but I've been playing with optional enhancements (mousetext, digitized
sounds...).  I did the port for two reasons.  1) I wanted the game.  2) It's
been very helpful in debugging the C compiler & libraries.

I mentioned it once here before, with the possibility of posting it to
comp.binaries.apple2, but I received no response.  Right now it's about
168K on disk, and still has a few spurious bugs.  I haven't had the chance
to work on it in about a month, but if there really is interest in it,  I'll
see about getting the most solid version posted for comments & bug reports.

I have source for nethack 2.3e, but I really haven't considered trying to
port it.  SRC for Rogue Clone III is about 238K.  SRC for nethack is about
1.5Mb, so you can maybe see why.
