#WozADay: Type Attack (1982)
an interesting arcade twist on the typing game, or an interesting control scheme twist on Space Invaders?

#WozADay: Star Warrior (1981)
like Dunjonquest games but wish they had a sci-fi setting instead? you’re in luck! (your first quest: complete a 13-sector disk boot process)

By the way. My #apple2 #mastodon client doesn't work on the IIgs, because it's a different serial chip.
But if someone had a IIgs they'd want to gift, I would totally write the necessary driver and make it work! Just saying.

#WozADay: The Flockland Island Crisis (1982)
a unique shooter where you control two ships independently at once, but I couldn’t find any documentation or existing video of this game, so you can watch me figure it all out!

#WozADay: Zaxxon (1983)
can I manage to see the titular Zaxxon from “Zaxxon”? there’s only one way to find out and it’s to watch this video

I have (very naïvely) replaced the Apple 2c IRQ handler with my own, and maybe it's buggy, but it now takes 700.000 cycles instead of 4.100.000 cycles to handle every serial card IRQ needed to load the home timeline on my #MastApple2c client.
And, BREAKTHROUGH, it's now fast enough to handle 19.2kbps (instead of 9.6) !

#WozADay: Escape From Rungistan (1983)
not sure about the premise, but this #InteractiveFiction game makes some pretty unique use of quick time events

Finally got around to imaging some very old SCSI hard drives from my #apple2 gs which contains some of my very early programming work. Figured I'd upload it to #github for posterity. This #videogame is called Swamp Land written in #applesoft #BASIC and was inspired by #BeagleBros text character animation based games like TextTrain. I wrote it over a weekend back around 1980 and was the first thing I was really proud of.
