>Why does it have so few games?
nobody wanted to spend $1000+ in 1986 on a newer version of the apple 2. very few game developers were interested in supporting a platform that had fuck all users. same problem the mac faced right up until the 1990s.

>Oh also the IIGS's 65C816 CPU was not well-liked. A lot of developers saw it as a toy
you had no choice there. apple wanted a machine that had backwards compatibility with all of its software.

>And also NO. You're thinking of IBM.
no. we're all thinking of that incompetent fruit company that never really gave any fucks about gaming until the 1990s and then really gave a fuck when they released the iphone.
>. Lots of games on Apple II
yes
> and Macintosh
fuck no. between 1983 and 1993 you could fit every single apple mac game on a cd-rom and still wouldn't fill it up the disk. it was a barren desert for gaming. nobody was buying those pieces of shit for gaming anyway. still seems to be the case today. nothing has changed much.
