Who remembers the Apple IIe?

[Qkchk]

For all those geeky kids who used to spend their lunchtimes in the Computer Room playing on the Apple IIe and Machintosh's. Enjoy. :whistle:


Play Apple IIe games on your desktop (http://www.virtualapple.org/2listA.html) (without having to download an emulator)

Brings back memories....

[Skunk]

I remember them. I have a small museum of Mac stuff - but no IIe.

[Bren]

Yup, first computer I ever used was an apple IIe...man how far things have come

[Bren]

and that site dont like linux boxes

[Qkchk]

I've just been scouring the net, trying to figure out / locate a game I used to play as a child......... and I finally found it. (The reason why I tripped onto the IIe site)

Below the Root (http://www.lemon64.com/?mainurl=http%3A//www.lemon64.com/games/details.php%3FID%3D255) - I will have to download an Emulator and have a play tonight... :shifty:

Anyone else played it? Just remember playing it for lunch hours on end at school.
For some silly reason I thought I had played it on the Apple IIe but I have now realised that it was on the old C64 (it may have even been a tape drive model :eek:).

Man, the 80's was so cool!

Anyone want a Sinclair Spectrum with the upgrade keyboard? We still have ours. Our daughter last used it when she was 3 and she's 25 now:argh:

[Stirts]

Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego

OMFG I loved that game!!! I said that outloud didn't I :Oops:

[Cajun]

i first learnt on c64 when i was 10 and started at intermediate.

i got out of half of intermediate school with setting up the computer lab for classes.

[firefighter]

Yep I had that game (on the IIe) and finished it too. Don't remember much except falling out of trees all the time.

Played a shitload of apple games, favs were Aztec, Wolfensteins, Conan, Drool, Ultima 3/4 and Bards Tale.
Dogfight was a lunchtime classic as you could squeeze 8 ppl around the keyboard for some serious button bashing. Probably my first multiplayer experience.

Make that 2 of us! I did have the old 'Tandy' 4-colour version and it worked well!

There are heaps of Dos based games available on the net for free download. Just google 'old dos games' if you want to spend endless hours reminising 'old skool' games.


Got to love the old Sierra series games like:

Return to Monkey Island
Leisure Suit Larry
Kings Quest
Police Quest

anyone else play the incredible machine?

Was that the one with the cat and a dog?? You had to rig a machine up to finish off the level. Make the boot hit a ball, which rolled down a ramp, which knocked over a lever etc.....?

How about Pushover? A fav Amiga game of mine as well as Lotus 3. Gee, I could go all night just talking about Amiga's...........

hahahaha, yeah that sounds like the one, I loved that game and it's actually good for the brain too!

My first computer was a BBC.....used a cassette deck as a tape drive.

[Big Dave]

My first computer counted to 20 if I took my socks off. (22 if you are in the Catlins.)

[jrandom]

For all those geeky kids who used to spend their lunchtimes in the Computer Room...

... when there wasn't an AD&D game on in the library.

:done:

[R6_kid]

Leisure Suit Larry???

[NighthawkNZ]

I still got a Commodore 128D in the spare room :shit:

[jonbuoy]

My first computer was a BBC.....used a cassette deck as a tape drive.

BBC had some good games - Elite, Chuckie Egg, Labyrinth

C64 - ACE, blitzkrieg, ghosts and goblins :love:

[Qkchk]

Leisure Suit Larry???

Are those question marks of true innocence or are you just shit-stirring?

[Big Dave]

His true identity.

R6_kid's leisure suit doesn't do up at the front these days.

[Donor]

I have both my C64 complete with 1541 Floppy drive with loadsa disks and Dataset cassette device, and some weird ass Apple machine with a brand new still-in-the-box big ass disk drive, and loadsa disks...

Mein gott, both are antiques these days...

[rainman]

and that site dont like linux boxes

That's 'cos it has some dodgy dll version of the player wrapped up in the xpi file you install. Not for me, not for any amount of nostalgia. I'm sure there's an Apple emulator for Linux somewhere... and lots of games if you look around.

[Tank]

Do ya'all think in 20 years time people will look back at the PS3 games of today with the same fond memories?

[Qkchk]

How about Pushover? A fav Amiga game of mine as well as Lotus 3. Gee, I could go all night just talking about Amiga's...........

Happened to find a download of Pushover (http://ishisoft.remakes.org/content/pushover01.png)......

Heck used to play Taipan, Ultima IV, Wasteland and Bard's Tale all the time on the ol'//e ....

Loved the disk drive rattle as it loaded up more hours of entertainment ... even joined a computer game club where you got them in the mail and sent them back when you were done! Old memories... heck, I even go to the MacGarden to dl the old programs which are abandonware now!

And yes, the Wasteland Rangers site is still a fav with me!
