I remember getting PoP for my IIe when it was first released.  I couldn't believe that an Apple IIe could run such a game.  At the time I was already jealous of the IBM PC and other computers like the C64 and Amiga which seemed like they could run rings around my IIe, but here was a game that not only looked as good as any PC game but played well too!  I played the crap out of PoP and beat it numerous times.  It's still a great game, especially on the IIe.

I bought PDF versions of Jorden's Journals...   Very Interesting reading...  Great Tools and Ideas he used to make the games...
