Ultima I

I’ve been playing Ultima I, in Kegs, on my tablet.  I really like being able to play this way.  I can take it with me really easily and play on the go. Progress was going pretty well until I failed

Ultima I, Zork

I’ve been kind of bouncing around between games in my free time.  I found Ultima I is more action oriented and Zork is more thought oriented. I can now pop into Ultima I, for a quick 10 or 15 minutes,

Ultima I

This morning I downloaded The Oregon Trail and Ultima I to play under Kegs. I spent about an hour playing Ultima I.  It plays almost as well under Kegs as it does on my Apple //c, better in some ways.

Ultima

After yesterday’s fairly long post, I loaded up Ultima. Wow, it has been years since I played last.  I played for about an hour.  The graphics are pretty crude and the sound affects are downright annoying, but I strangely enjoyed myself.

Daily Apple

I intend to use this space to post on a daily basis about Apple II computers. I bought my first Apple Computer on December 29 of 1984.  It was an Apple //c and came with a 9″ monitor and stand, a
