Replying to an old thread. Thanks to a post in A2-Central, I was poking around Brutal Deluxe's site and read about Mr. Sprite which led me to read about Lucas's generic Tile Engine and his Super Mario Conversion.

I'm about to bring some spotlight back to both GTE and Super Mario with an article on both for Retrogaming Times Monthly in the next issue. It was a lot of information to read on the Apple IIGS capabilities and how many people tried to work around things.

Too bad Lucas isn't around these parts anymore. It would be interesting to hear his thoughts now since the Apple II community is still alive and kicking.

This all reminds me that I've been wondering how well the GS could handle
Commander Keen 4.

There's a project called "ckmodsrc", which supposedly is a reconstructed
source tree for the engine used in 4-6, but I haven't tried to get it to
work with those games, and I haven't tried to do anything with the clone
"Commander Genius" either since it's meant for modern OSes.

Whatever way it would go - I think if Wolf3D can be done, Keen probably
can too. And since the default graphics mode of the GS is 320x200x16...

-uso.

I tried getting to the website and when I was redirected to this site: http://iigs.dreamhost.com/ I got a server error. Hope the page is available again soon.
