The best "mindless" arcade-type games that come to mine are probably Alien 
Mind, Xenocide, Arkanoid I and II, Crystal Quest, Qix, Task Force
and Tetris.

Probably the BEST nintendo-like, arcade game for the GS, however, will be
Rastan.  This game is finished.  It is being shipped now.  The publisher is 
Taito.

If everyone buys this one, we might see some more games from Taito.  
If you like games for the Apple IIGS, you might want to encourage the 
publisher by buying this one.

Also, another one that's still in the hopper is Dragonwars GS, which is
coming along nicely.
