Galaxians, ‘New Apple 2c user needs help plz’

Prompted by a posting on MacGui ,’New Apple 2c user needs help plz’.

I downloaded Galaxians from MacGui to my Windows PC.  It is a .GZ file, so I extracted the disk image with 7-Zip.

Starting up AppleWin, I booted Galaxians, an arcade style game.  It looks very similar to the original arcade game, which I used to play many years ago.  The only key that appeared to do anything, was the left alt key which fires the gun.  The game seemed to run fine on AppleWin and not having a joystick, I didn’t bother to download it to my Apple //c.

It turns out I misread the post and that game worked for him.  The one that did not work was Robotron 2084.  I’ll get into that next post.
