: Type Attack (1982)

an interesting arcade twist on the typing game, or an interesting control scheme twist on Space Invaders?

: Super Bunny (1983)

strongly recommend playing this yourself if you think it looks easier than I’m making it

: 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 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.

: The Print Shop Color (1986)

consensus seems to be there’s no emulated color printers, so maybe an interesting project for someday!

: 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!

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 client.

And, BREAKTHROUGH, it's now fast enough to handle 19.2kbps (instead of 9.6) !

not sure about the premise, but this game makes some pretty unique use of quick time events

Finally got around to imaging some very old SCSI hard drives from my gs which contains some of my very early programming work. Figured I'd upload it to for posterity. This is called Swamp Land written in and was inspired by 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.
