| Now it's time to get your own Apple II! Download one here(I recommend AppleWin): http://www.classicgaming.com/vault/appleiiroms-AM.shtml |
| If the games on that site aren't enough, you can go to the Apple II Archive and get almost every Apple program ever made, with the exception of Number Munchers, Flobynoid and the Baked Apple games, by clicking here! ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/images |
| Note 6/21/01: Believe it or not, I DID just find Deathmaze on the FTP Archive, under the "file-based" section of the "games" section. It's listed as "deathmaze5000" and then a bunch of other stuff....so now YOU can try to play this! If you get anywhere, let me know....yeah, like you will.... I also found Dung Beetles, which you have to play(it's also called "Tumble Bugs" in some files)....and ONE surviving Baked Apple game, Alivader....and yup, it still says "May the force be with you" on the instruction page. Gotta love it... Before you try to work the Apple there's some things you have to know. One is a word that will serve you well: CATALOG If you boot a disk and nothing shows, or a program ends and nothing returns you to the menu, typing CATALOG will get you a list of all the programs on the disk. And there are 3 ways to enter them in: If the file name has an "A" before it, type "RUN (name of game)." If the file name has a "B" before it, type "BRUN (name of game)." But if you ever run across a file with an "I" before it, or a disk that won't even load at all ("Unable to load Prodos" will display on the screen instead), you need a whole other disk to run THESE....SO.... Go to the Masters section (of the FTP site) and get yourself a Dos 3.3 disk, and a Prodos disk...these should help you run Integer files and Prodos files respectively. You can also type LIST. This will list the "guts" of a program so a person with computer knowledge could "debug" it...if you run across an error "?SYNTAX ERROR IN 35" or something like that, usually you type LIST. Now put all this knowledge to use...go to the Utilities section, and download the Beagle Bag...then go to the Apple emulator and run your Dos disk, then switch that disk with the Beagle Bag and type "Catalog." You will see many, uh, interesting programs. (Trust me, you'll want to run them all, hee hee...you won't believe what people waste their time programming.) To start out, run "NAKED CITY." Run that interesting program...and if it malfunctions, you'll know what to do...right? |
