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.
