Sure, if something can be reasonably ported and "just work" in terms of launching games within our UI and not need extra setup or preferences. We don't plan out any ports, so the "wish list" doesn't mean much. Also, it's an open wiki so you can add whatever you want.
Anyway, many of these computer systems aren't a great fit for our UI because of the complexities involved in loading games.
The Apple II computer was Apple's first successful product. It was part of the first generation of small affordable user-friendly with a build-in keyboard (similar to later computers like the C64 and ZX Spectrum) for both businesses and consumers. While it was mostly used for business applications, it also spawned a set of original games like The Oregon Trail, Lode Runner, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?, Tapper, Battle Chess and many others. You may say that the Apple II doesn't belong in OpenEmu because it isn't a dedicated gaming-console, but that would also be true for platforms that are already on the wishlist like the Atari ST, ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC and C64.
The Apple IIGS (GS = enhanced Graphics and Sound) was the last generation in the line of Apple II computers. They were fully backwards compatible with all old Apple II software, supported a large colour-pallet and had advanced sound capabilities surpassing that of other populair computers of the time.
I'm personally not an expert (or even an semi-pro or hobbyist) on the development of emulators, but their are already some people that have made some emulators for both the original Apple II and the later IIGS.
