New news! |
Wow. It's been about 8 years since I've updated this site... but hey, I am still around. Lots has happened in the last few years, in particular with the release of the Applesauce Floppy Disk Controller and the creation of the WOZ disk format for the Apple II by someone much, much more knowledgeable than me. This finally achieves the objective of creating exact images of Apple II disks suitable for preservation (copy protection included), so the disk images that you'll find on this site have now been superseded. That said, rest assured, all of the Apple II software presented here has been re-imaged in WOZ format.
What else has happened since 2014... well I've accomplished a number of my "most wanted" objectives - I've found an original copy of Fraktured Faebles and one of Dragon Side II, I've managed to get in touch with Steven Sacks (although he did not have a copy of Chambers of Xenobia, unfortunately), and most interestingly I recently (finally!) got in touch with Dale Johnson, author of Masquerade. Or rather, I got in touch with his family as sadly Dale died in 1999, which explains why it was so difficult to find information about him.
I haven't updated the rest of the site though, but one day I might. I get mail once in a while from people saying how much they enjoy the scans and information presented here, so it's not going anywhere. Meanwhile, if you happen to have a copy of any of the software I'm looking for... or if you wrote Apple II software during the early 1980s... please get in touch! |

Happy New Year! |
Happy New Year everyone! Not a whole lot of change here this year (and in the last couple of years, actually), mostly due to a lack of time and the difficulty in obtaining information. But hey, at least what's here is not going away, and I get the occasional e-mail about it - so someone is looking once in a while!
Anyhow - if you happen to stop by here and have anything that might be of interest, either old game packages or information to contribute, then please e-mail! Have a great 2014! |
