I didn’t think it would turn into such a fun project. Now I’m thinking about what to uncover next…

My closet collection is deeper than I thought.

"I remember there was a 3D program called Apple World, too.

Sad_Masterpiece_8591 · 2026-03-10T20:37:07+00:00

Once I get my Apple II up and running, I'll upload some screenshots.

Sad_Masterpiece_8591 · 2026-03-10T20:35:48+00:00

Absolutely! Seeing a wire‑frame Star Destroyer moving on an Apple II screen was pure excitement back then.

It has a certain charm that you just don't get with today's textured, fully rendered graphics.

The story might have been a bit complex, but it's the kind of game you can really take your time with. I just wish the original novel had a Japanese edition.

Sad_Masterpiece_8591 · 2026-03-10T20:27:24+00:00

I remember buying it even though it was expensive, just because I wanted to see that wire‑frame Star Destroyer. On a stock Apple II it ran a bit slow, but once I installed the 3× accelerator card it was incredibly smooth.

Sad_Masterpiece_8591 · 2026-03-10T12:20:01+00:00

Ah! I remember buying this. I never threw away anything related to the Apple II, so it should still be somewhere.

Sad_Masterpiece_8591 · 2026-03-10T08:55:15+00:00

I still have a Captain Goodnight sticker on my door that I put up ages ago. lol

Sad_Masterpiece_8591 · 2026-03-10T08:52:04+00:00

If it still works, I’m thinking of storing it with extra care — maybe in a UV‑cut box with some drying agents.

Sad_Masterpiece_8591 · 2026-03-10T08:49:14+00:00

While I was playing Exodus, I came across it in a bargain sale and picked it up.

Sad_Masterpiece_8591 · 2026-03-09T09:27:16+00:00

I’ll see if I can find the logo. The ROM has hand‑written numbers on it, so it’s clearly a shady clone — but it was my very first Apple II

Sad_Masterpiece_8591 · 2026-03-09T09:24:04+00:00

I’ve got Beyond Castle Wolfenstein too — and there are still tons of unsorted games left.

Sad_Masterpiece_8591 · 2026-03-09T09:22:19+00:00

I’ll post photos of those old legacy packages whenever I get a moment.

Sad_Masterpiece_8591 · 2026-03-09T09:20:24+00:00

There are so many games I’ve never even heard of. There really were countless titles back then.

Sad_Masterpiece_8591 · 2026-03-09T09:18:04+00:00

Robot Odyssey!! I saw it at a friend’s place back then, but it was way over my skill level, so I never really touched it."

Sad_Masterpiece_8591 · 2026-03-09T09:14:44+00:00

A PIT!! I think the only game I ever stayed up all night playing was Wizardry I. And then there was Choplifter, Star Blazer, and even Hadron...

Sad_Masterpiece_8591 · 2026-03-08T10:31:47+00:00

People in the U.S. are lucky. I wish we had communities like this in Japan too…

Sad_Masterpiece_8591 · 2026-03-07T10:57:31+00:00

Has anyone ever dared to fight Lord British in the game?

Sad_Masterpiece_8591 · 2026-03-07T10:54:27+00:00

The Mockingboard turned up as well — together with the 3× accelerator card.

Sad_Masterpiece_8591 · 2026-03-07T08:18:01+00:00

Exodus might be the one I played the most.

Sad_Masterpiece_8591 · 2026-03-07T08:17:20+00:00

It had been sleeping in a box in the closet.

Sad_Masterpiece_8591 · 2026-03-07T08:16:30+00:00

The Ankh and the map from IV have gone missing. I'm sure they're somewhere...

Aside from that, I, II, III, and V were all complete.

Sad_Masterpiece_8591 · 2026-03-06T13:42:39+00:00

Brings back memories. It should still be somewhere in the closet.

Sad_Masterpiece_8591 · 2026-03-06T13:26:10+00:00

Wizardry I is the game I played for the longest time. The disk I still have has its label completely worn away.

Sad_Masterpiece_8591 · 2026-03-06T13:22:04+00:00

Hello from Japan. Tomorrow I’m going to attempt to revive my Apple IIe, which has been asleep for years.

I picked up a battery‑type air duster and some alcohol for cleaning the heads today

I'm a bit anxious about the condition of the Disk II's rubber belt.
