Over 1000 Apple II games available online

of a real emulator. I have seen Apple II disk images around the Internet before. There was a project that used the serial port of a PC hooked into the serial port of an Apple //c and Apple II software to use the serial port as a floppy disk to load disk images and run them on the //c. It was said doing so was better than an emulator. Yet they included about 1000 Apple II disk images with the software.

The link was [link|http://a2gameserver.berlios.de/details.html|http://a2gameserver....s.de/details.html] but it appears to be down now. Maybe it will be back up some time? I think it used Java on the PC as a Game Server to the //c using the serial port to send the data for the games. It called the //c as a WozMachine and the Java program as an A2GameServer.

The whole 1000 Apple II disk images is an ethical thing that has been debated for a long time now. The project assumes you own an Apple II and the disk images and you only use the images you own on an emulator or Game Server or whatever. Only I think the companies that own the IP to the games might object to them being downloadable on the Internet.

I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow Never apply a Star Trek solution to a Babylon 5 problem. I am not merely a "consumer" or a "taxpayer".

But they've made the disk images available, so you could run them in your local emulator, I imagine. Wade. "Insert crowbar. Apply force."
