> Why hasn't someone written an Apple II or IIgs emulator for the Mac II?

Becuase a Mac II needs to emulate an Apple II as much as an Amiga needs
to emulate a Vic-20.

Presumably, if you bought a Mac II you want to run all of the native
applications its capabilities support, not a bunch of obsolete apple
II programs.

If you really wanted to play color games and can afford a Mac II, I
assume you could buy a small 8-bit computer just for that purpose.
The best way to emulate a particular computer is to buy it.
