Circuitry
Circuitry is an addictive arcade game with distinctive graphics and sounds. It will find a home in almost everybody’s games folder. The purpose of the game is to keep a well from filling with blocks. There are nine different kinds of blocks that can fall into the well, and your job is to make “chains” of one type from one side of the well to the other. When you complete a chain it will be deleted from the well, along with all of its branches. Sound simple? Sound like games you’ve played before? Then you haven’t taken a close enough look - this is a great game!

Font
Basaltic: A great headline or initial caps font for a computer newsletter, Basaltic is coming to you in TrueType™ and bitmap format.

Iie Aoi
Iie Aoi is actually a two part program - a patch for GS/OS and an Init that work together to change the way your system software works when programs are launched. The look and feel of how programs are launched, and how they quit, is greatly enhanced by this little goodie. Once you’ve installed it you won’t want your system to work any other way!

SeeHear 2.0
An all new and enhanced version of one of our all-time best! SeeHear 2.0 is a New Desk Accessory (NDA) that demonstrates the ‘G’ and ‘S’ in “Apple IIgs.” It allows you to listen to and view various sound, graphic and animation file formats by selecting them from the NDA or by double—clicking on them from Finder. And if you’ve seen the older versions, you’ll love the many enhancements Greg Templeman has added!

AppleWorks GS
Prescriptions: This template can be used to organize your home pharmacy. Often, we have prescriptions in our medicine chest or drawer that have been around a while and we forget why we got them in the first place. Then we feel ill or have a pain and can’t remember what pill to take. By keeping this Prescription Data Base up to date, that problem should end.

Clip Sounds
An awesome medley of sounds awaits you. You’ll thoroughly enjoy these goodies digitized by Greg Templeman on his IIgs.
