Re: MessApple, Or, The Return Of Apple2E For the VIP!
Okay, so maybe a few of you are going, "What's this all about? What's all this Apple stuff?" For those of you, let me just say that, as far as my childhood goes, the games playable with this emulator, and games like them, were the first audio games. Literally. This is where the whole accessible computer game concept got started. In many cases, all you had was the robotic speech of the Echo II speech synthesizer. Commands were entered from a menu or as inputs such as single letters, words, numbers, etc. Some games played simple tunes on the system speaker, only one note at a time. If you were really lucky, you'd get a game such as Typing Game, Dragon Maze, or Space Invaders which made creative use of the system speaker to generate interesting sound effects. There was no stereo, no lossless audio, no full 3D environment. For someone who's never used an Apple, this might seem boring and pointless, but it's what we had, and that was that.
