003- Where can I find hints, docs, pics, and other game information?
Several of the larger game archives offer docs, hints, cheats, and
walkthroughs. A few go into copy deprotection and copying.
You can find screen shot and game box pics-- great for making disk
labels-- on some sites; but, no single archive or web page offers anything
like a comprehensive collection for Apple II/IIgs games. For just IIgs
games, the What is the Apple IIgs site has a very good collection.
Author, publisher, and historical information is relatively rare. One
site, The Giant List, does a good job listing game authors along with their
games, publishers, and dates.
If a game or series has its own web site, this will often be the best
place to look for docs, support materials, pictures, and author/publisher
info. Good examples are sites for Ultima, Bard's Tale, Infocom games, and
the games published by Penguin/PolarWare.

007- How do I get my Apple II site listed in the FAQs?
One way is to post an announcement about your site on comp.sys.apple
(Csa2). If the posting is read by the FAQs keeper the site may be added to the
FAQs listing. Another way is to email the FAQs keeper at
[email protected].
Include "Apple" in the message title.

____________________________
008- What determines whether or not a site is listed?
Any site accessible via the internet which contributes something to
Apple II computing is a good candidate for inclusion.
