Passport turns 10 this year (technically July 12). Time flies when you're cracking.

I intended to write this post about -9- months ago (not to mention maybe a few other posts as well), but the world got crazy and life got busy and, well, better late than never.
INIT HELLO: A New Apple II Conference (Scope Creep Done Right)

Playing around with some Boing-alikes on different retro platforms today. Here's Shiny Bubbles from Xanth for the Atari ST, who also famously made the FujiBoink! demo.
Running on my 4MB 520STm. 60fps smoothness is lovely.

There were two versions of Apple's "Star Wars" game for the Apple II. The first version was written by R.J. (Bob) Bishop in 1977. The second version, from 1978, was by Dana Redington. Note that "ammo" has been replaced by "energy," among various other changes. No word on whether Greedo shot first in the later version.

I did this quite a few years ago for a different event, but it seems appropriate to post it again today. #MayThe4th #RetroComputing #VintageComputing #AppleII #Commodore #TRS80

@jf_718 And before Mouse Desk, there was Quark Catalyst 3.0, which came bundled with the UniDisk 3.5 floppy drive from Apple -- and was digitally locked to the UniDisk as copy protection.

My #AprilApples project, cleaning up this IIgs. It’s a ROM 1 machine, with an Apple Memory Expansion card, a Booti, and a #FujiNet adapter. Given how it started out rather happy with the result! #appleii

Figured I should join in posting photos of my Apple //c for the 42nd anniversary of its release! Shown with a photo of my dog Nick, Apple II Desktop, and yes, an SSH session, all via a FujiNet adapter. #appleii #retrocomputing #fujinet

Before Betrayal at Krondor, #Dynamix was already dungeon crawling. #SwordOfKadash mashes up Rogue, Wizardry and Gauntlet into 256 hand-crafted screens of real-time, trap-filled brutality. It's not fair, it's not gentle, but it might be the most atmospheric 8-bit crawl you've never played. Save states recommended. Imagination required.
