A New Old Game
Jun. 22nd, 2014 06:47 pmWhile fiddling around with a directory full of emulator programs for old computers could be grandly described as a way to "understand them as systems," I would have to say that more often than not when I start one of them up it's to play an old game. Because the Apple II emulators I are easy to use and have some interesting features, I do seem to concentrate on a computer that's long been described as "not as audio-visually impressive as the other big models" (although I can indulge myself in a TRS-80 game or two every so often, and the TRS-80's graphics were just slightly advanced from "ASCII graphics"), and out of the Apple II games I've tried I seem to find Lode Runner particularly interesting.
