Welcome to Apple ][ Games

Where we've been Well there's not been much update activity on Apple 2 Games in the last couple of months and I apologize for this but I have a great excuse :) The birth of my first son Benjamin back in April. I've not gotten a lot of sleep or had much time to do anything since his arrival, but now three months on and he's sleeping though the night I hope to have at least an hour or so a day to update items and write some features! One thing I plan on doing in the next couple of months is to convert this site from Media Wiki over to Wordpress. It'll be a choir since there's over 600 screen shots, but it's worth it. -Dave 7/12/2008

Apple ][ games is a wiki dedicated to old school 8 bit Apple ][ computers games. The Apple 2 series of computers dominated the American home computing market during the 1980's and early 1990's. From it's initial launch in 1977 to it's final manufacturing run, Apple computer sold millions of these machines. Practically every school in the country had an Apple 2 and it was the one with a ton of games, too.

It wasn't until the Macintosh & Windows appeared on the market that the Apple 2 started to drop in popularity. Today, there's still thousands of Apple 2 computers out there in the wild and, on any given day, several can be found on eBay or Craigs List. There is still a very strong and thriving programming community and several great emulators available. Heck someone even created a video for the rock band Granddaddy using an Apple 2e

Over the next few months we'll be posting screen shots of an old Apple 2 games as we stumble across them. As we find different Apple 2 resources throughout the web those will be added, too. Plus, since this is a wiki, all information here is up for debate and change and users can add resources and other items.

If you're here, you are more than likely familiar with the Apple 2 computer. Apple hasn't produced this machine in over 20 years, but there is still a large user community supporting the machine. However, if the Apple 2 is all new to you and the only thing Apple has produced that you know of is an iPod, then check out the Apple 2 Emulators page. With one of these fine emulators you can bring the Apple 2 experience to your modern day machine.

From there, check out the games pages. See why some old-time gamers still think this was one of the best computers for gaming. I can play Apple Panic or Hard Hat Mack for a few days; yet can't play any of the new cutting edge 3d shooters for more than a few minutes without getting bored.
