I recently found the Apple 2gs that my mom bought way back when. Even found the Original reciept for it. After digging through the pile of floppy disks I found Oregon trail, and Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego.
Looking back at this stuff ade me feel old for the first time.

Also, get your grubby little hands away from me, it is not for sale :)

I have my original Apple ][+ that my uncle bought new so he could type at home. We use to play alot of Ali Baba, Space Eggs, and Lode Runner on it - he even bought a joystick for it for Space Eggs. Its currently in storage, but Ill pull it out soon since I now have Castle Wolfenstien for it.

Last night I got OSX up and running on my G3 iMac. Tonight itll boot into ScummVM and will eventually just have a Crayola trackball for my nieces to play on.

BlackDS, you need to get a serial cable so you can use ADTPro. Just google it and you can dump any Apple II(gs) disk image to a real disk to play. You can even dump games to the internal ram disk and play them from there (if they're single disk games). Or there's Apple Game Server, which can run single file games directly from your computer.

IMO, the IIgs is the best computer Apple ever made.
