The Best Apple II Graphical Adventure Games

Submitted by mattbarton.exe on November 7, 2005 - 7:56pm

Greetings, everyone. A friend and I are writing a book on the history of the Graphical Adventure Game (e.g., King's Quest), but neither of us had Apple IIs back in the day, yet we are aware of the tremendous importance the platform had for early GAGs. We've been playing through games like Mystery House and Time Zone, but I was wondering if anyone here would like to point out which GAGs were really innovative and popular back during the Apple II's heyday. In other words, what Apple II gags would you guys really want to see mentioned and discussed in a book like ours?

Looking for a couple of really old Applie ][ games.

Submitted by Lakmir on October 31, 2005 - 12:26am

I'm guessing it was around 1988-1990 when I last played these... I remember printing out a banner for my dad using... I don't even remember what it was, PrintShop or something maybe, just that the banner printed on one of the really old printers you needed to thread the paper into, with the little holes and the tear-off strips, heh.

Here's one for any oldies out there!

Submitted by gauchomartin on October 27, 2005 - 12:27pm

I have some files marked as 'archives' (although I think they're compressed), made in 1993. Now I can't remember what I used to compress them - it was definitely on a Mac. Anu suggestions!

Original Apple II Key swithces

Submitted by akessel on October 23, 2005 - 11:54pm

I have been long looking for some replacement key switches for an apple II - original model. These key switches soldered on and had a little phillips screw that held them in place.

They were bad then, and wondering if anyone has a clue if where to find one. I would settle for a used apple II keyboard with these kinds of switches and I would just canibalize it.

I am looking for a copy of a program that simulated the launch of the space shuttle, then the catching up to and docking with
an orbiting spacecraft. Any ideas where I might find this would be appreciated.

Dead IIsi

Submitted by doug-doug the mighty on October 15, 2005 - 11:11am

Okay,
I have a IIsi with a fresh battery. The machine was known to have a stable OS on an 80MB drive. When powered on, non ping, just a fan, hard drive spinnning (but not the scratchy 'hey-I-am-reading-something' noise, and the screen shows a solid pale rose color. When a floppy is inserted, no autoeject or reading occurs. It is like the machine just does not want to start. No funny smells from the board that I can sniff.

Submitted by hppacito on October 5, 2005 - 8:34am

Hallo !

I'd like to know where I can find a schematic of the apple II, and if anybody would encourage its "replication" instead of a "Replica I".

Thanks in advance !
