2 | Akalabeth | Self-Published (R. Garriott) | Apple II | Mint | Ziploc Baggie | 1979 | Received directly from and signed in person by Richard Allen Garriott de Cayeux. Only maybe twenty of these exist today. Possibly less. | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||
3 | Dunjonquest - Temple of Apshai | Epix | Apple II | Good | Big Box | 1979 | This is one of the oldest Apple II RPGs. Clunky, but the best you could get back then. | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
4 | Wizardry I: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord | Sir-Tech | Apple II | Near Mint | Big Box | 1980 | This was the biggest RPG hit of 1980 by far. I enjoyed it, but not as much as my father did. | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
5 | Castle Wolfenstein | Muse Software | Apple II | Near Mint | Ziploc Baggie | 1981 | Early "orange manual" released prior to the boxed version. I'm lucky to have this one. Includes manual and disk, the baggie is not original. | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
6 | Castle Wolfenstein | Muse Software | Apple II | Good | Big Box | 1981 | Box has a little more wear than I'd prefer, but still good. This game used to scare the crap out of me! | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
7 | Castle Wolfenstein | Muse Software | Apple II | Very Good | Blister Pack | 1981 | I got this one from eBay. I'm not sure how rare it is, but I know it is a later release. (Maybe 1982, but I don't know yet) | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
8 | Falcons | Piccadilly Software | Apple II | Very Good | Ziploc Baggie | 1981 | I loved this game as a kid, despite the fact I was not very good at it. :) | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
9 | MasterType | The Scarborough System | Apple II | Fair & Sealed | Big Box | 1981 | Sealed and unopened, but the box is slightly crushed. Lame, but it did teach me to touch type pretty well! | 4 | ||||||||||||||||||||
10 | Olympic Decathlon | Microsoft | Apple II | Fair | Big Box | 1981 | Top flap is missing, box is a little bit worn, but still holds it's shape well. I don't know why I ever thought this game was fun, but it's very nostalgic. | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
11 | Outpost | Sirius Software | Apple II | Near Mint | Ziploc Baggie | 1981 | I had a blast with this game when I was a kid. Used to have daydreams about defending a space station spawned from this game. | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
12 | A2-PB1 Pinball (Night Mission) | SubLOGIC | Apple II | Near Mint | Ziploc Baggie | 1982 | This is the first edition and first printing of the game. Not my original copy, the original (which was the boxed 2nd edition) was lost to time somehow. | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
13 | Aztec | Datamost | Apple II | Mint | Big Box | 1982 | A true classic, but man do I hate the keyboard controls. I've never been good at this game. | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||
14 | Cannonball Blitz | Sierra Online | Apple II | Good | Big Box | 1982 | 2nd Edition, sadly missing the box but all other materials in good shape | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||
15 | Canyon Climber | Datasoft | Apple II | Good | Big Box | 1982 | A classic, but was never one of my favorites. | 4 | ||||||||||||||||||||
16 | Choplifter | Broderbund | Apple II | Near Mint | Big Box | 1982 | A true classic. Box is in good shape. There's a good number of the sleeve versions of this game, but not too many boxes like this one. | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
17 | Choplifter | Broderbund | Apple II | Near Mint | Sleeve | 1982 | I bought this on eBay just becuase I didn't have the sleve version. :) | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
18 | Crisis Mountain | Synergistic Software | Apple II | Near Mint | Ziploc Baggie | 1982 | I didn't play this as a kid, but grew to like it later, so I picked up my copy from eBay. | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||
19 | David's Midnight Magic | Broderbund | Apple II | Good | Ziploc Baggie | 1982 | I liked Night Mission Pinball better, but this was still a lot of fun. | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||
20 | Rendezvous: A Space Shuttle Simulation | Edu-Ware | Apple II | Near Mint | Big Box | 1982 | Loads of fun, although these days I doubt most people would tolerate it. | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
21 | Rocky's Boots | The Learning Company | Apple II | Mint & Sealed | Folio | 1982 | Got this from eBay. It's in excellent shape, and sealed. Probably won't ever open it! :) | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||
22 | Rocky's Boots (School Edition) | The Learning Company | Apple II | Near Mint | 3 Ring Binder | 1982 | A pretty rare find, this is the version of Rocky's Boots distributed to teachers in schools in the 80s. | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||
23 | Rocky's Boots * | The Learning Company | Apple II | Good | Folio | 1982 | Precursor to Robot Odyssey, and a lot of fun. This is the one I orignally owned. | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||
24 | Rocky's Boots * | The Learning Company | Apple II | Good | Folio | 1982 | I don't know where I got this copy of Rocky's Boots. I seem to have far too many copies of this game. | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||
25 | Sheila | H.A.L. Labs | Apple II | Mint | Ziploc Baggie | 1982 | This is the first "multi player" game I ever played, even though it wasn't really multiplayer. My dad would drive and I would shoot the arrows. Fun! | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
26 | Sky Blazer | Broderbund | Apple II | Near Mint | Big Box | 1982 | Identical to Star Blazer, but released later in the year with a different name, in a big box instead of a baggie with an insert. | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||
27 | Snooper Troops (Case #1) | Spinnaker | Apple II | Near Mint | Big Box | 1982 | This game, which I loved as a kid, is not nearly as cool as I remember it being. :) Still lots of nostalgia for it, though. | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||
28 | Snooper Troops (Case #2) | Spinnaker | Apple II | Near Mint | Big Box | 1982 | Identical game engine as case #1, with a different mystery to solve. | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||
29 | Star Blazer | Broderbund | Apple II | Near Mint | Ziploc Baggie | 1982 | One of my favorite action games on the Apple II. The tank levels drove me nuts. Sometimes I'd get it on the first try, sometimes it take 20 minutes! | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||
30 | The Arcade Machine | Broderbund | Apple II | Near Mint | Folio | 1982 | Lets you make (relatively primitive) Apple II arcade games without knowing how to program. Strangely hard to find and somewhat valuable. | 4 | ||||||||||||||||||||
31 | Typing Tutor II * | Microsoft | Apple II | Good | Big Box | 1982 | This made me the typist I am today. "fads dasf" I say! | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
32 | Ultima II: Revenge of the Enchantress... | SierraVenture | Apple II | Very Good | Big Box | 1982 | A rare find in good condtion, this game is fun but rather ridiculous. :) | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||
33 | Wizardry II: Knight of Diamonds | Sir-Tech | Apple II | Good | Big Box | 1982 | Same game engine as Proving Grounds with a new maze. The silver box I have is rare compared to the more common box. | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||
34 | Archon | Electronic Arts | Apple II | Near Mint | Folio | 1983 | In nearly perfect condition, this was one of my favorites when I was a kid. I loved the Unicorn character the most. This is my original. | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
35 | Archon * | Electronic Arts | Apple II | Very Good | Folio | 1983 | Second Copy. Availabe for trade or sale. | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
36 | Dino Eggs | Micro Fun | Apple II | Fair | Big Box | 1983 | Complete, but box has some crush damage and the disk is slightly creased. Looks good on the shelf, though, and I loved it as a kid. | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
37 | Flight Simulator II | SubLOGIC | Apple II | Good | Big Box | 1983 | I'm glad flight simulators are not this crappy any more. Heh, heh. Truly amazing for it's time, though. Flight sim with 64k of RAM and 1 mhz CPU! | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||
38 | Hard Hat Mack | Electronic Arts | Apple II | Mint & Sealed | Folio | 1983 | Factory sealed, mint condition | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||
39 | Hard Hat Mack * | Electronic Arts | Apple II | Mint | Folio | 1983 | In perfect condition despite being opened. | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||
40 | In Search of the Most Amazing Thing | Spinnaker | Apple II | Near Mint | Big Box | 1983 | Another game that I absolutely loved as a kid, but really hasn't aged that well. | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
41 | Jumpman | Epix | Apple II | Very Good | Big Box | 1983 | To be honest I never had this when I was younger, but I picked it up because of it's relative rarity. | 4 | ||||||||||||||||||||
42 | Learning Bridge Made Easy (Charles Gorin) * | CBS Software | Apple II | Mint | Big Box | 1983 | This game, and it's accompanying book, actually taught me how to play bridge. My dad loved bridge. Sadly, I never really got into it. | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||
43 | Lode Runner | Broderbund | Apple II | Very Good | Big Box | 1983 | Great condition except for a small amount of tearing along the box top. A true classic that really deserves to be remembered. | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
44 | One-on-One | Electronic Arts | Apple II | Near Mint | Folio | 1983 | One of the most heavily hyped games of it's time. I liked it but it gets repetitive pretty quickly. | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||
45 | Pinball Construction Set | Electronic Arts | Apple II | Good | Folio | 1983 | Unfortunately the EA release rather than the original release. I used to make the most ridiculous things with this... | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||
46 | Pinball Construction Set | Electronic Arts | Apple II | Good | Folio | 1983 | Also the EA release rather than the original release. Identical condition. I honestly have no idea why I have two of these. | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||
47 | Planetfall | Infocom | Apple II | Near Mint | Folio | 1983 | This is the first Infocom game I ever beat, and will always be my favorite. | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
48 | Spy Hunter | Bally Midway | Apple II | Good | Big Box | 1983 | Manual, disk, sleeve and registration card only, box missing. Crease in manual. I have never even seen a photo of the original box! | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
49 | The Quest | Penguin Software | Apple II | Good | Big Box | 1983 | Open, but has original shrink wrap. Hoping to gert it autographed by Dallas Snell. | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
50 | The Standing Stones | Electronic Arts | Apple II | Fair | Folio | 1983 | Rare NFR demo copy. Slightly frayed corners, has some masking tape on the box. I wasn't a big fan of this game when I was younger. | 5 | ||||||||||||||||||||
51 | Ultima III: Exodus | Origin Systems | Apple II | Good | Big Box | 1983 | Second Copy. Availabe for trade or sale. Sort of. Not really. | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
52 | Ultima III: Exodus | Origin Systems | Apple II | Near Mint | Big Box | 1983 | This is when Ultima really started to get good. | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||
53 | Wizardry III: Legacy of Llylgamyn | Sir-Tech | Apple II | Near Mint | Big Box | 1983 | This game features a newer engine than the first two, but it's also a bit sluggish in comparison. | 4 | ||||||||||||||||||||
54 | Archon II: Adept | Electronic Arts | Apple II | Mint & Sealed | Folio | 1984 | Sealed and in perfect condition. Very rare. Not *quite* as much fun as the original Archon, but still lots of fun. | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||
55 | Below the Root | Windham Classics | Apple II | Near Mint | Big Box | 1984 | A truly incredible game that is fun to play despite it being thirty-five+ years old. Strongly recommended. Also, this copy is in awesome shape! | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||
56 | Below the Root * | Windham Classics | Apple II | Very Good | Big Box | 1984 | Second Copy. Availabe for trade or sale. Sort of. Not really. | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||
57 | Beyond Castle Wolfenstein | Muse Software | Apple II | Very Good | Big Box | 1984 | Great shape, but I only have the disk and manual, the box is missing. This is a very fun game, that holds up well even today. | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
58 | Beyond Castle Wolfenstein | Muse Software | Apple II | Fair | Big Box | 1984 | Complete copy, but the box has some crush damage. No tears though, so I think I'll be able to restore it if I'm really careful! | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
59 | Bruce Lee | Datasoft | Apple II | Good | Big Box | 1984 | Complete, including all inserts, and in fairly good shape although, there's some moderate creasing wear on the box. | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
60 | Elite | Firebird | Apple II | Very Good | Big Box | 1984 | Everyone loved this game. Oddly, I didn't. Game and box are in good shape though. | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||
61 | Fahrenheit 451 | Trillium | Apple II | Very Good | Folio | 1984 | The folio is awesome, it unfolds to five panels. Amazing. Sadly the game kind of sucks, but the book it was based on was interesting. | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||
62 | Ghostbusters | Activision | Apple II | Good | Big Box | 1984 | Loved the movie! Game, not so much. A valiant effort, but it doesn't really capture the movie very well. Complete, but box is slightly squished. | 4 | ||||||||||||||||||||
63 | Karateka | Broderbund | Apple II | Near Mint | Big Box | 1984 | Hard to believe that an Apple II computer could do this. Some of the best visuals on an 8 bit Apple, lots of fun, and in nearly perfect shape. | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||
64 | Kung-Fu Master | Data East | Apple II | Good | Big Box | 1984 | In good shape except floppy label is detatched. I'm going to try and re-affix it with glue. Sooner or later. One of these days. Real soon now. | 4 | ||||||||||||||||||||
65 | MicroLeague Baseball | MicroLeague | Apple II | Very Good | Big Box | 1984 | Not your typical sports game, this was all about statistics and management and it was a lot of fun. | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
66 | Microzine #7 | Scholastic | Apple II | Mint & Sealed | Folio | 1984 | Sealed in mint condition. "Brain Drain" was fun when I was a kid. Isn't quuuuite as engaging these days. :-) | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||
67 | Music Construction Set | Electronic Arts | Apple II | Near Mint | Folio | 1984 | This sucks without a Mockingboard. With one, however, it's pretty cool! | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||
68 | Rescue Raiders (Manual Only) | Sir-Tech | Apple II | Very Good | Big Box | 1984 | It's misleading to say I "have" this game, because I am missing the box and floppy, I only have my manual. But, some day, I'll get what I'm missing! | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||
69 | Robot Odyssey I | The Learning Company | Apple II | Near Mint | Big Box | 1984 | This is the 1st edition of Robot Odyssey, in near perfect condition! Note the I in title vs the 1. The manual in this one is about 20 pages shorter, too. | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||
70 | Skyfox | Electronic Arts | Apple II | Good | Sleeve | 1984 | This is the sleeve only verison that doesn't open. | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
71 | Skyfox | Electronic Arts | Apple II | Near Mint | Folio | 1984 | This is the "cool" version with the comic on the inside of the folio. Not an accurate flight sim by any means, but easily the most fun. | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
72 | Spy vs. Spy (Mad) | First Star Software | Apple II | Near Mint | Big Box | 1984 | Had a love/hate relationship with this game when I was younger. Mostly hate. :) | 4 | ||||||||||||||||||||
73 | Sundog: Frozen Legacy | FTL Games | Apple II | Very Good | Folio | 1984 | Another of the best games ever written for the Apple II. Incredibly fun despite its age, I recommend everyone try this game if they haven't already. | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||
74 | Sundog: Frozen Legacy | FTL Games | Apple II | Mint | Folio | 1984 | This is in perfect shape, looks like it was just taken out of the shrink wrap in 1984. | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||
75 | Sundog: Frozen Legacy | FTL Games | Apple II | Near Mint | Big Box | 1984 | The very rare boxed version 2.0 release of Sundog. Got fleeced on eBay for this one, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||
76 | The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy | Infocom | Apple II | Very Good | Big Box | 1984 | A great Interactive Fiction version of the equally great book, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Complete with all feelies and paperwork. | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
77 | The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy | Infocom | Apple II | Good | Big Box | 1984 | Same as above, but the box is a bit more worn, and it's missing a few inserts (warranty cards and such, all the feelies are present) | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
78 | The Seven Cities of Gold | Electronic Arts | Apple II | Mint & Sealed | Folio | 1984 | Factory sealed, mint condition, got it from eBay. Didn't have it as a kid but I always wanted to try it, and now I can! | 4 | ||||||||||||||||||||
79 | Alice in Wonderland | Windham Classics | Apple II | Near Mint | Big Box | 1985 | Coded by Dale Disharoon, the same fellow responsible for Below the Root, this isn't as immersive, but is still fun to play. | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||
80 | Autoduel | Origin Systems | Apple II | Very Good | Big Box | 1985 | This is a copy of Autoduel that I got from eBay because it contained the toolkit that I had, but lost, in my original. | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
81 | Autoduel * | Origin Systems | Apple II | Good | Big Box | 1985 | I really did poorly at this game when I was a kid but I liked it anyhow. Sadly my childhood copy is missing the little "toolkit" that the game came with. | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
82 | Balance of Power | Mindscape | Apple II | Near Mint | Book | 1985 | I didn't fully grasp what this game was trying to teach me as a kid. It's a surprisingly grown-up game for something designed for children. | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||
83 | Bop 'N Wrestle | Mindscape | Apple II | Near Mint | Folio | 1985 | Got this only because it cost $7 and my original was in bad shape. "When I'm done, yer face will be hog slop." | 4 | ||||||||||||||||||||
84 | Bop 'N Wrestle * | Mindscape | Apple II | Poor | Folio | 1985 | Severe wear on corners. Not ripped, but looks pretty bad. This game sucks, by the way, but it was amusing when I was a kid. | 4 | ||||||||||||||||||||
85 | Captain Goodnight and the Islands of Fear | Broderbund | Apple II | Very Good | Big Box | 1985 | Simplistic but fun, I loved this game as a kid. Sadly I lost the box, but still have everything else (disk, manual, and code wheel) | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
86 | Chem Lab | Simon & Schuster | Apple II | Near Mint | Book | 1985 | I enjoyed intentionally making things explode. :) | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||
87 | Garry Kitchen's GameMaker - Science Fiction * | Activision | Apple II | Near Mint | Big Box | 1985 | Add on that provides a bunch of Sci-Fi resources for Garry Kitchen's GameMaker | 4 | ||||||||||||||||||||
88 | Garry Kitchen's GameMaker * | Activision | Apple II | Near Mint | Big Box | 1985 | Didn't have this as a kid, but I always wanted to try it. It's more flexible than I thought it would be. | 4 | ||||||||||||||||||||
89 | Hardball! | Accolade | Apple II | Near Mint | Folio | 1985 | Truly impressive graphics for it's time, especially considering the capabilities of the Apple II 8 bit hardware. | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||
90 | Hardball! | Accolade | Apple II | Near Mint | Big Box | 1985 | Identical to the folio version, I don't really know if the big box release came out before or after. | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||
91 | Karate Champ | Data East | Apple II | Near Mint | Big Box | 1985 | They did their best to port this, but it's just not the same without the two joysticks. | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||
92 | Law of the West | Accolade | Apple II | Very Good | Folio | 1985 | While not a particularly complex game, I really loved it as a kid. Really simplistic, I know, but I thought it was awesome to be the sheriff. :) | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||
93 | Microzine #11 | Scholastic | Apple II | Very Good | Big Box | 1985 | As a ten year old, I absolutely loved "The Dark Tower" which is an adventure game included in this release of Microzine | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
94 | Moebius: The Orb of Celestial Harmony | Origin Systems | Apple II | Very Good | Big Box | 1985 | Complete copy that I found on eBay that included the headband! | 4 | ||||||||||||||||||||
95 | Moebius: The Orb of Celestial Harmony * | Origin Systems | Apple II | Good | Big Box | 1985 | My original copy, in good shape except that I'm missing the headband. I wore that thing all the time as a kid but I have no idea where it is, now. :( | 4 | ||||||||||||||||||||
96 | Movie Maker | Electronic Arts | Apple II | Near Mint | Folio | 1985 | I'm not sure why I have this, or where it came from. Must have been in my collection as a kid but I never knew I had it. | 5 | ||||||||||||||||||||
97 | Phantasie | Strategic Simulations | Apple II | Near Mint | Big Box | 1985 | A little more fussy to play than Ultima, and not as deep, but still a lot of fun. | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||
98 | Project Space Station | HesWare | Apple II | Fair | Big Box | 1985 | Minor rip on top of box. Hard to notice. First/original edition, two years prior to being published by Advantage. | 4 | ||||||||||||||||||||
99 | Reach for the Stars (2nd Edition) | Strategic Studies Group | Apple II | Near Mint | Folio | 1985 | This is the game that launched the entire 4X game genre. It's a lot of fun, especially this 2nd edition. | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||
100 | Ring Quest | Penguin Software | Apple II | Mint & Sealed | Big Box | 1985 | Sealed and unopened. Hoping to have it autographed by Dallas Snell and Dr. Cat. | 2 |
