#emulation #retrogaming #ThrowBackThursday

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.

In a reddit thread discussing an old Beagle Bros sticker attached to the default computery sticker location for every schoolchild -- the front of a floppy disk storage box -- a former tech support employee of the company chimed in in the comments and shared a nice little glimpse of the company from the inside.

Thanks, r/LlaughingLlama

@EmpireofDirt I prefer "Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs." Uses every letter.

I’ve seen some vintage Apple pictures on here and I just felt compelled to say playing with Beagle Bros software and anything connected to their branding and aesthetic brings back immense feelings of whimsy and joy. #AppleSoft #Apple #VintageApple #appleiie #BeagleBros
