I moved Lampchops to my Apple //c today.
When I tried to boot the first diskette I got scattered characters over the screen. I tried to reboot it and got the same results.
I went back to ADTPro and moved another copy to a different diskette and when I tried to boot it, it showed Apple //c and sat there.
I was starting wonder if my drive was off, but tried to copy it to a diskette I have used recently. When I booted it up, the computer actually did something. It quickly booted up to PREPARING LAMB CHOPS… and then there was disk activity which is much more apparent on an actual Apple //c (lights and noise) as opposed to AppleWin which just shows on a tiny green dot. There is something kind of reassuring about the noise of the disk drive when waiting for a program to load. You know something is going on while you wait.
The game play is much more enjoyable on the real Apple //c with a color screen.
