Where to tind lists of new apple ii games introduced

I only know of one game for Apple II released recently:

https://www.the8bitguy.com/product/petscii-robots-for-apple/

And Nox Archaist, if you like Ultima style RPGs.

These two examples are software striving for a retail type release as you would have seen back in the 80's. So they got a lot of media attention. I'm sure along the way, other people have made smaller games with less fan fare. 

But I'm not aware of any central repository for this kind of info. Google will probably be your best bet in this case. Or asking on the Apple II subreddit. There seems to be a bit more activity than there is here. 

Michael Packard of Snacking On! Software has released a few games over the past several years...

Alien Downpour, Trader Invader and Darkstar Unhinged.  He has a couple coming soon.

Guys I assure you there have been plenty of small releases in the past 10 years.. That is what I am getting at. Very few have the clout of nox archaist and the 8 bit guys. 

---By the way I own both of those games and according to the 8 bit guy he has lost alot of money on his release of Petsci robots on the Apple II. I was one of the first to buy it, have you guys not?!

Please refrain from assuming what we have or have not bought.

And if you feel so strongly about the need for some kind of public tracker, feel free to do so yourself.  Sitting here complaining about the lack of one isn't going to get you one.

I bought Petscii Robots just this weekend at VCFMW (to go with the IIe Platinum I bought).  Needed something to test/play with :-)

I would have bought it sooner, but this weekend was my first foray getting into retro computing.  So far, loving getting back to a system I grew up using.

Thats great! Welcome to the hobby! Beware the addiction and compulsion of buying mroe and more stuff and more and more vintage computers.....

Did you buy the IIe at the show as well?

Thanks!

Yes, I did buy the IIe at the show.

I've resisted for years, but have been intereted for several years watching various retro channels.  I think what I'm most looking forward to is learning more about what the system can really do.  Just getting it running over the weekend, I realize how narrow my understanding was at 13 what the capabilites were.  Getting to see it with adult eyes should be a lot of fun.

You probably want to get some kind of floppy replacement like a FloppyEmu.  It is fun to hear the whirring and clacking of a vintage drive...  but modern solid state devices sure are nice.

Yes, Clint was there.  I actually spent a fair amount of time talking to him; super nice guy.  I talked to David a bit as well.  I bought the games and stickers mostly to help support them.  Both channels have been huge in getting me back into this after 35 years.

What has proven very helpful so far was the Apple Disk Server website.  Most instructions for setting ADT Pro and other tools up start with "Insert your ProDOS disk..." which is hard when you don't have any OS media.  I happened to have an old box of floppies I got at a hamfest 6 years ago sitting in a drawer, so using the cassette port connected to my laptop to  download and decompress an image to a floppy got me rolling.

I'm definitely planning on a floppyEMU at some point, but I need to get/build a D25 gender-changer or swap it for a D9 so I can connect to the SuperSerial card.  So many options... :-)
