Apple Games!

This is really great! Apple 2 Games! Going back in the 1980s! The Apple 2 and Super 64 machines!

Back in those days computer games were picking up. Of course they do not have fantastic graphics like the XBox and PS2 type of games, but the storylines for most of the games (apart from those no-brainer types like pacman or space invaders) were fantastic! Some of the storylines and concept were so good that their "great-great grandchildren" versions existed today.


Karateka
The fabulous and steady Karateka. Upon finishing the game so many times, I start to explore how to killed the princess. But everytime she seems to kick first. Anybody playing Karateka before will know what I mean.
The first unarmed combat game that I ever seen. I never knew playing a fighting game on PC is possible until this game. Very very good.



Aztec
Steady pom pi pi, its Aztec! The fantastic adventure game. I spent years playing this game. Very good and exciting! You pulse quicken everyime you fall into a trap, adn the walls starts closing or a dinosaur sudenly appears running towards you
A typical level. Move around in the dungeon, crawling with all sorts of monster, plus some barbarians at the lower depths, as well as a jellyfish or carnivorous plant at the lower levels. Get a dynamite, machette, pistol, bullets, etc. This is the grandfather of all the first person shooters.


Archon and Adept
Archon! The famous game whereby 2 sites were pited against each other. I thought the game concept was very very good! When I played this, this was the first ever game that I knew of tha feature such gameplay. Till today, games still follow this game play.

Adept is the 2nd part of Archon. Apparently, the gameplay is changed as the troops are now summon out of nowwhere and control is only focus on the 4 wizards. Good game.

Solid! Highly tempting to get the emulator, although I'll probably not use it on my machine.
