Rusted up Apple II 5.25" floppy drive

Submitted by iamdigitalman on September 20, 2007 - 2:10pm

In anticipation of my Apple //e Platinum aquisition (yes, I am FINALLY getting one, so excited), I started gathering up all the Apple II related stuff I have collected over the years. I found a external modem I *Think* can be used, 2400 baud RS232, a 9 pin male to male apple branded serial cable (old apple font, modern tektura or whatever it's called embossed in to both ends), my old mouse from my Plus (plan on swapping it back with the one from a IIc I got at a computer sale, since it's platinum as well), and a few other things.

Can Anyone Help me Find This Game?

Submitted by sonnyhung on September 17, 2007 - 10:31pm

Hi,

I've got a game in mind that I played on my Apple II plus back in 1979 when my dad purchased the computer for me.
It's my belief that it was likely a Type In game from a magazine of some sort.
It used LoRes Graphics, was a maze game, which would reveal the maze as you wandered around.
It was a Green Maze and you fought monsters using the space bar possibly to attach. Your character was represented by a Block, Either a single block (or maybe if my memory serves me correctly a 2x2 matrix block)It had levels which you would enter by going down or up.

Does any of this sound familiar? This was the same time frame as NIM which I also typed in from a small format Apple Magazine (5.5x8.5)...

can someone help with this game?

I remember playing a game on the apple II back in the early 90's. The game had a lot of riddles like "who invented paper?" and there was something about Thomas Edison. Also it seems like there was a dinosaur or dinosaur bones in a room. I don't have a lot of detail, but if someone knows the name of the game that would be great.

Brown Apple II?

Submitted by DaveyPocket on September 16, 2007 - 10:09am

I noticed in the Apple II Forever video that there was a photo of a brown Apple II computer. Was that painted or did it come like that?

Apple II and IIplus super encoder board finished

Submitted by vbriel on September 16, 2007 - 7:09am

Well, after dealing with several of my Apple IIplus computers with shot encoder boards I set out to design a replacement one. Using a microcontroller I was able to design a new encoder board that is smaller and works great. Well, while I was at it, I added a ps/2 keyboard port so you can attach a PC keyboard to your Apple II or IIplus and have an external keyboard. The bonus is that you don't have to turn off the onboard keyboard, you can use both keyboards at the same time. This is great for two player games. I needed 5 of these so I did an order of 20 and now have 15 available.

Anyone remember this game?

Submitted by Scroogl on September 16, 2007 - 1:29am

Hi, I recently had a coversation with my family about the old Apple II we had and there was one game we all played but could never finish (no cheating before the internet, haha)

I actually can remember quite a lot about the game. It was a text and graphics based adventure, maybe in a manor (haunted, mystery, not sure) and one of the first puzzles was solved by typing 'say answer' or 'speak answer'

Any ideas?

Submitted by Jim_GS on September 15, 2007 - 4:55pm

I have been going through my collection of original older apple II programs and test running them on my IIgs. All the utilities and various applications run fine and the IIgs is set to run in it's slower speed. Games, however, are a different story. Most work fine on the GS, but a few refuse to work at all. These work fine on my Apple IIc or on the Mac Color Classic with the IIe card. I am guessing these programs may not work on the GS possibly because of the copy protection used.
