Random Apple Memory Apple IIGS

Charlotte Henry reflects on the Apple IIGS, the computer that brought new levels of sound and colour to Apple desktops

The Apple IIGS, released in September 1986, was the final model of the Apple II range. It was a groundbreaking machine in several ways. Most notably, it was the first Apple computer with a color Graphical User Interface (GUI). There was also the availability of Super-High Resolution graphics mode. This made possible a greater number of color choices than both the high-resolution and double high-resolution modes of previous models.
