    Try not creating new accounts on a forum you've been banned on and you won't have that problem.

    You could've put that in the warning. but, i understand. Consider this as atonement. I will try to do better this time.

    I've been doing my best to collect all the Apple ][ games published by Compute! Magazine in the 80's.

     

    This includes the type-in games listed in the main Compute! periodical magazine, the books (Compute's 1st/2nd/3rd book of Apple, Best of Apple, etc), and the specific and obscure Compute's Apple Applications magazine.

     

    I'm trying to compile all the game software titles onto DSK images. I've been doing this for awhile... the first one I completed in 2006. It's posted here.

     

    Slight tangent: It's still a challenge to find some obscure Apple ][ game software. I find this odd and interesting in how history has played out. Other platforms like the C64 and ZX Spectrum have every nook and cranny dug out and brought to light (or seem too, from my perspective), and certainly most of the popular home consoles (2600, NES) have even the most obscure prototypes and WIP projects available and documented.

     

    Anyway, the Apple ][ was bowled over a bit I think (there's some interesting theories over time as to why). At any rate, all the games here in this thread are published games, in print form, from Compute! I've had to go to somewhat great lengths to find and type-in these things over the years despite being published nationally once upon a time.

     

    I've gathered enough material to compile 4 volumes, I could use this community's help tho... I have a bunch of PDF files that haven't been typed in and I could use some help there.

     

    Do you know the rewarding feeling it is completing a type-in game from a vintage computer magazine? Please let me know. I has PDFs. First come, first serve. Go crazy.

     

     

    Here's what's on the first disk.

     

    Volume 1
    --------
    Climber 5
    High Rise
    Heat Seeker
    Miami Ice
    Balloon Crazy
    Webster
    Leaping Larry
    Basketball Sam & Ed
    Galacticon
    Powerball
    Galaxy Defender

     

    Volume 2 to follow. Volume 3 in the works. Volume 4 needs most of the titles typed-in still, so yeah... wanna help?

    Typed-In Games from COMPUTE! Vol 1 (2006).dsk 140 kB · 52 downloads

    I really wish they could be configured for WASD or Arrow support

    anyone played it? we have one here in Lodi, at Tony's Pizzeria and upon playing, metaphorically, my brain blew out of my skull. One of my favorite bands of all time finally got a pinball table of their own, with the songs i loved growing up. One of the few good uses of a license.😀

    Most early processors had no multiply or divide instruction.

     

    However, your multiply and divide routines are completely inefficient.  You should look for Z80 multiply and divide routines that use efficient shift and add/subtract methods.

    I'm using the site's suggested routines for now. Z80 is easier for me then 6502
