I use MESS as my primary Apple 1 emulator because I don’t own an apple 1 replica, nor do I own any type of Apple computer whatsoever. I wanted to be able to load games and programs from the cassette emulation MESS provides but quickly found out .wav files for the Apple 1 emulator were few and far between, and physically typing out several thousand line of code was not an option! Many games I want to play don’t even exist in .wav format!! Microchess is one of those games. The only solution to this problem was simple. I had to learn how to make my own .wav files.

Here is the WAV file for my modified version of Apple I Checkers. This is based on the Vince Briel Checkers he modified from 101 Basic Computer Games, but this version has some usability enhancements. Vince's game was true to the book, but I found it hard to keep track of what was going on and counting positions wasn't fun after the first few moves.

Note: You must load Basic first...
