I'm not so concerned with different versions of a computer in a line with only minor changes (Apple II+/IIe/IIc, Atari 400/800/etc.) as the lines themselves. I mean, the IIgs is different enough from the previous II's that I'd say it's a separate computer, but the IIc isn't. >The IIc stuff, though, baffles me -- I remember seeing some game that said it >had been upgraded to use the "IIe/IIc" (as written on the sticker) and when I >tried it it actually produced a menu asking me what type of machine I had, IIe >or IIc. That may have just been a red herring. I'm thinking there was some enhancement made to the IIc that the original IIe didn't have (but later ones did). Unfortunately, what it was isn't coming to me. Unless . . . did later the IIc and later IIe's have a built-in 80 column mode? >As for the second part of your question: No, I can't specifically remember >any personal computers that didn't have commercial games specifically written >for or ported to them. So what games were released for the Apple III? It had a different OS from the II's, right? It did, I think, have some sort of emulation software to run stuff created for the II's, but that doesn't count, IMO. -- Lee K.
