Source code to Larry Sherman's Crossword Magic & Acey-Ducey

[Savetz]

The amazing Apple II cracker "4AM" found a cache of Larry Sherman's source code disks and posted them to Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/larryshermandisks

 

Larry wrote many games for the Apple II and two for the Atari 8-bit: Crossword Magic & Acey-Ducey. These were published by both Mindscape and Softsmith, according to AtariMania. http://www.atarimania.com/list_games_atari-400-800-xl-xe-sherman-larry_team_1215_8_G.html

 

The collection includes the Atari source code for both programs. These are Apple II disks, as the games were cross-compiled from Apple.

For your convenience, I did a quick-and-dirty export of those disk contents, so you can see the source code.
