I haven't spent time with the Apple ][ emulator lately, but if you find me a good quality .wav sample of the Apple floppy 'whirr' and 'seek-stutter' sound to play during disk access, I'll get right on it!

Before the Apple ][s dominated the educational market, some Minnesota schools had CBM PETs

If I recall correctly, 'Oregon Trail' took about 5 minutes to load from the cassette. Some of my greatest memories from that time were getting excused from 5th grade math to program on the PET. Only much later did I learn that the BASIC on those was written by ... Bill Gates. :(

Of course, the lucky kids had Apple ][s at home and the really lucky kids also had a Control Cata PLATO terminal

...at home connected to the Cyber mainframe over 300 baud modems -- which let them play online multiplayer games like Moria dungeon crawl and the awesome galactic conquest game called Empire.

Anyway back on-topic. The Apple ][ emulator won't be 'hildonised'. It has an in-game disk image loader menu - You can load disk images with the +/- keys.

how the heck are you playing netrek? I'm dying now!!!

Re: Apple ][ emulator (surely, I'm not the only one...)

Could someone explain how I install this? I download the .tgz, I can unpack it but I don't understand how to install this software on the n800.

Re: Apple ][ emulator (surely, I'm not the only one...)

So I remember playing an old game back when I was in elementary school (early 90s) on an Apple II. You were in a mansion of some sort, and had to figure out a ton of riddles in order to move on. At the very end, I remember there being 3 chests and if you chose the wrong one, it'd send you back down a few floors in order to repeat parts of the game.

If anyone has any idea what this might have been I'd love to know, because it's been driving me crazy.

You might get lucky and spot the description here:

Re: Apple ][ emulator (surely, I'm not the only one...)

@jhoff80: I can't remember much of what I used to play back when I had an Apple II, but what you describes sounds like a variant of Adventure.

Re: Apple ][ emulator (surely, I'm not the only one...)

Yeah I tried the list and couldn't find it. Oh well.

sounds like maniac mansion to me

Nope I definitely remember that one.

Re: Apple ][ emulator (surely, I'm not the only one...)

To get this to work do I essentially extract it then run it from terminal?
