Multiple Games on One Disk for Apple II

[Skylark68]

Does anyone remember some single floppy disks that were real cheap in the late '80s for the Apple II? I remember one disk that had a game called D-Day (I think) where you controlled a tank at the bottom of the screen on a shoreline. You shot up at small boats that were unloading troops trying to get to the left of the screen. Most of the games were really old Apple II games and were real basic. I think another one had a Atari 2600 Indy 500 type game on it but real basic. The cars blinked when they moved and were real slow traversing the race course. Does anyone remember these games and who the publisher might have been? I think each disk was less than $5 or so and most had a "theme" on the package (typically clear sealed plastic with a single sheet enclosed) artwork.

 

They were real fun games but just real basic. They might have even had C64 or IBM on the flipside of the disk.

Mastertronics were the kings of this, also I think Thunder Mountain? A lot of the C64 ones were imports from the UK and were usually pretty simple with the Atari version on the back. I used to pick them up at the Warehouse for a couple of bucks each.

Thunder Mountain sounds familiar. The games were usually pretty fun, although really simple...

I went searching on ebay and I found a couple of disks that I remember. They had a gold label and were made by Keypunch Software. It was sort of like Thunder Mountain with a bunch of value games. I had at least one Thunder Mountain game. I think it was called "Eliminator." It was a Defender type game. Here is a particular Keypunch game that I had. I remember in particular one of the games you were a scuba diver and you had to avoid seahorses I believe. Anybody remember these?

Wow. Yep, I remember those - it's been ages. I think one of the local department stores had them either by the checkout or the electronics area checkout for $6.99 or $4.99 or something...

Keypunch? I have (!) some of those for PC I think, 4 games on one disk.
