Fun fact: The studio behind Lemmings went on to be the main developing force behind Grand Theft Auto.

Yep, DMA Design! (later Rockstar North). I've been to Dundee (city in Scotland where they were originally located, they've since moved to Glasgow though, another city in Scotland) a number of times and they're very proud of their history of game development. 4J Studios is another one in Dundee (who did the old console versions of Minecraft and to my knowledge are still there) and their university has a course specifically for game design. I'm not sure how noteworthy that last part is but it's noteworthy to us Scots at least.

imagine you’re a kid in the 80s playing lemmings thinking “this is hot steaming garbage, who tf made this sh**” then 30 years later your own kid’s playing GTA 5 and you see a familiar name in the startup

I love how the synopsis for these old games always sounds hype as hell and the gameplay is a wet fart meanwhile modern games provide basically no synopsis or sale introduction

author of Tom Bombem here, amazing that out of the huge catalog of 2nd-rate Apple II games you picked one of mine. Random note, 2 years ago I made a "proper" version of Lemmings for the Apple IIe that you can find out there but there probably isn't a sound file loader version of it

Damn LGR be looking different

Many earlier Apple ][ games were developed for a paddle (rotating dial) controller (like pong), which is why some of the controls might be funky using a joystick. A joystick was a relatively new thing at the time, whereas paddle controllers often came with the Apple ][, at least until the early 80s.

Fender Bender is a clone of a Sega arcade game called Head On. Get the dots and don't let the maniac in the other car hit you. I now feel very impressed with myself.

I have an Apple ][ Plus, 1978, boxed with its original stuff and things! Lovely machine, took a little work to get her going again after sitting in a loft for 30 years!

I like the monitor iii. I have one that I got for very cheap about 2 years ago. I didn't nor do I now have an apple ii or iii, so I didn't have a use for it, so I hooked it up to an old PC I had with a composite output displaying a digital clock. It has been running 24/7 for over 2 years displaying a large, full screen digital clock and the date in beautiful monochrome green. The way the phosphours are, you can still see a ghost of the previous number when it changes for a good 30 seconds in the dark. It works quite well.

as an apple ii lover this is loved by me

I remember ages ago when I watched the doom video and wanted to see you do this but I didn't have the patreon. Thank you for finally releasing the patreon videos

With Asteroids you have to hold down the direction you want to go in for it to move. One button fired the other was turbo mode.

I still feel bad remembering binning my Apple ][e… 😢

My mum has an old apple 2E to this day and it’s a cool old computer it almost burnt itself to the ground a few times but still works somehow and we have a few old games like ghostbusters and a few others I don’t know why but every time u use the games it works more and more the first time it might only work on the Home Screen then the next time the game might start to play then the next it will work perfectly

Tom Bombem, Duke Nukem, Coincidence?

Can't have apples without the pits and boy do the controls here appear to be very deep in some of them pits. Never had the "pleasure" of 70s computing tho i am fascinated by the era, i wish one of those tech focused specialist managed to dig up or have made Xerox (pre-)PC the Adam of all computers. It is quite amusing to see this but i am certain Apple II had mouse no? like 2 button jobby that was all sorts of sqyare and jaged edges?

These look like earlier titles; the first Apples could only load from tape, and disk drives were added later. A lot of later (mid 80s-early 90s) Apple II software was more graphically intense and could use a (one-button) mouse. There was sort of a proto-Finder for the ][e and the IIGS had GS/OS. Plus a lot of paint and desktop publishing software. The green screens were common and provided sharper text, but a lot of old Apple games look much better on a color monitor.

You should do a teardown of the controllers and rebuild them so they work properly.. otherwise, 4 out of 5 sausagerolls

Fender Bender. I could never figure out the controls for that game.

Probably don't have audio loaders for them. Not every game does. Probably need a real floppy or floppy emulator.

You have to have cap locks on you dingus, a lot of apple II games need to be told to switch to joystick and most software doesnt support lowercase keys so
