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!

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.

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.

@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.
