| Games you'd like to see ported to Apple II... | |
Posted by: returningmacuser on 2009-01-28 12:29:34There are actually NES roms that are only 32K in size.I'd like to see the old NES classics, Castlevania, etc., on the IIgs.Just an NES emulator itself would be kick-@$$ since the CPU used in both are nearly identical. The NES's 2A03 CPU is a modified 6502. | |

| Posted by: madcrow on 2009-02-24 05:47:30 Probably there's plenty of games that could be converted to a Zip-chipped IIgs... I mean they got Wolfenstein 3D going on it, so why not a whole bunch of other games of that era. With the IIgs's awesome sound chip, why not, say Team 17's excellent Alien Breed top-down shooters? | |
Posted by: II2II on 2009-02-24 15:53:28Assuming that I'm the cat and the ball of wool is Applesoft, a better description would be a ball of wool playing with a cat.Seriously. I spent a lot of my childhood with Applesoft BASIC and the Commodore 64 BASIC.The image that comes to mind is of a cat playing with a ball of wool. ;D Actually, I wasn't a bad programmer back then. It's amazing what you can accomplish without the Internet to distract you. | |
Posted by: arfink on 2009-03-12 19:34:19what about Portal, or team fortress II? Can we get one that is networked with a Uthernet card?I want to see some simple but well executed NadaNet games. Maybe a port of Mazewars, or a multiplayer rogue or something like that. | |

Posted by: porter on 2009-03-22 14:09:24It's no secret that the Apple II was Apple's best computer for gamingIt's not a secret, it's a myth. 🙂 When it was the only machine they offered you could claim it was the best Apple machine for anything at all. | |
Posted by: returningmacuser on 2009-03-22 15:14:30Ah, but add "GS" on the end and it becomes a different story entirely. 🙂It's no secret that the Apple II was Apple's best computer for gamingIt's not a secret, it's a myth. 🙂 | |

| Posted by: H3NRY on 2010-02-16 19:41:13 I did a Pac Man and Mrs Pac Man, and Tapper, and Frogger, and some "3D" shooters, and some really awful ports of console games, and I got so sick of playing games... xx( By the time you've tested every position and live / die / score situation of every level of a game, you forget how much fun you're having. Then after doing the Apple version, comes the C-64 version, and the Atari 400/800 version, and the Atari 5200 version, and the Genesis... well, you know... Writing games will cure you of wanting to play them. 😀 | |
| Posted by: Mollyz on 2010-02-16 19:44:58 I cracked the official Apple ][ Ms. Pac-Man to a single file, I got it around here somewhere. (Not the "Diskman" crack that's been floating around since the '80s, but a new, clean crack.) | |
Posted by: Osgeld on 2010-02-16 19:52:18Writing games will cure you of wanting to play them. 😀the cure to writing games is ludemdare, then you just want to sit back and play for a while then you start getting "itchy", and you know your going to make a game sometime soon }🙂 | |
