  1. have you tried looking for the disk image online and use ADTpro to transfer the data to a disk ?

     

    Seems the IIe/c version isnt dumped. The 'Apple II' version available online is actually the GS version.

     

    The one here?

     

    ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/images/games/adventure/leisure_suit_larry/

     

    Is it? Still, Id prefer to have an original working copy of the actual disk as opposed to just a copy.

    Not a bad solution, but in the past Ive been able to keep trying to load and it eventually it does. Not sure why that is, but Ive happened to me before with some other Sierra games I have. This is the first one Ive had that seems to be getting no further.


  3. Hey all,

     

    I've been playing the Apple II version of Leisure Suit Larry, and I am basically at the end of the game. Just after you blow up the doll and it flies over to the hot tub, so basically, the last screen. Right there though, the disk will not load! Talk about the worst place for it mess up. IF I could just beat this version one time, I'd be happy.

     

    Ebay has a poor selection of loose games, so far thats proven no good. Hoping some one here has a loose copy of the game, or barring that, I would buy a CIB copy again.


  4. 3. The last one was like a Sesame Street title (I think), but oddly I cannot find any info about it online. I remember it had a few different games in it, and the one I played the most was a hangman type thing.

     

    This might have been "Fun and Games" from Children's Television Workshop and was a collection of 5 games: Mix and Match, Animal, Raise the Flags (I think this is the hangman type game you're remembering) Layer Cake and Word Editor. I still have a disk image of this: http://bit.ly/ifgp06 Word Editor doesn't work but the others do.

     

    I remember playing this plenty of times even though I was too old for it at the time.

     

    Hi. Thanks, yes that is it, however it is actually called just 'Mix and Match', and it includes all 5 options; I found a boxed copy and it is identical to that image.

     

    Now if I could just figure out what the Night Driver clone was.


  5. 1. could have been Classic Concentration, which was also hosted by Alex Trebek...

    2. sounds like "Driver," which, AFAIK, was an easter egg on the Print Shop Companion, you booted from Disk 2 and pressed a certain, long-forgotten key combination.

     

    1. THATS IT! Now, I see there is also a sequel, but it appears the rom isnt available for either, nor the real thing. I remember the player I chose, if I could see some actual footage I could narrow it down to the right version. It's possible it was not the Apple version, as my buddy had an IBM too.

    2. Interesting. These games were all pirated, sometimes in a different format than their original releases. I remember playing The Count on a regular floppy, when the original, non pirated version was a cassette. So perhaps Driver was somehow ripped from the Print Shop program? I remember it was on a disk with several other pirated games. I would need to see footage to be sure.

     

    I've found collecting classic computers to be frustrating at times. Often I am not sure if several of these games ever had a true full retail release, some of them seem to have been shipped out in plastic bags, or in the case of most MECC games, not released at all outside of the school system. Many games seem to remain undumped, or only dumped in pirated forms.

     

    What surprises me though is that I cannot find any info on the third game, which I seem to remember was Sesame Street. You think that it would be more common. If you guys can think of any hangman type games for Apple, perhaps I was wrong.


  6. I have been looking all over for the names of several games I played as a kid, and I was hoping you all could help me out.

     

    1. One was like a Jeopardy clone (or was it the Jeopardy game?), a quiz game, but instead of a 'final Jeopardy' the final puzzle was a brain teaser. I particularly remember one teaser that formed 'Michael Jackson' from some combination that had a picture of a microphone, a picture of hell with devils etc.

    2. I played some clone of Night Driver/Datsun 280 Zzzzap, IIRC it had almost no graphics except the 'pegs' that formed the side of the road.

    3. The last one was like a Sesame Street title (I think), but oddly I cannot find any info about it online. I remember it had a few different games in it, and the one I played the most was a hangman type thing.

     

    Any idea? I played all of these from about 1987-1991, when we had our Apple II, although the quiz game I played over a friends house.


  7. I am a bit younger than y'all, so in the 80s I had never seen one. My dad and my brother had a 2600, but the video game crash happened when I was like 3 and I think they had dumped the 2600 by about 1985.

    Fast forward to about 1999. During the NES age, my parents never let me have anything but a game boy, so when I got older I really made up for lost time and starting collecting just about everything. My brother and I had almost every obscure system hooked up to our TV (from the Playdia to Colecovision). One day, I happened to be over a friends place, and he had a TON of old systems/games. 2600, 5200, NES and more. Then out of the blue, he said 'if you want these, you can have them'. So I took this all home, and tried the 5200 (and about 10 games) for the first time. I remember liking the 'title' screen for Pac-Man, and I was blown away by how good the port was. But his controllers were worn out, so I ended up trying to use the trackball controller for alot of games.
