Dec 12, 2020

For a kid who grew up in the late 1970s and into the 1980s, TSR was the name in mass market pen and paper role-playing games. They actually published three Apple II computer games in 1982: Dungeon!, which was based on the board game; Theseus and the Minotaur, which was...

NOTE: A version of this review originally appeared in Issue 2, Volume 20 (2015), of Juiced.GS, a quarterly print magazine for Apple II users.

Fixing repeating key presses on an Apple IIe Platinum

Jan 26, 2018

At the same time I did extensive keyboard surgery on my Atari 1200XL, I also took the opportunity to try and debounce some of the keys on my Apple IIe Platinum’s keyboard. Fortunately, that was a far simpler process. Initially, I noticed that the D key would sometimes create additional characters...

The Longest Lived Personal Computing Platforms

Oct 3, 2017
