This month on Open Apple, Mike and Ken chat with Kay Savetz, Internet publisher and author of the memoir Terrible Nerd. We cross enemy lines to review a book about the cultural, scientific, and philosophical implications of Commodore 64 programming, some of it applicable to the Apple II. Paul Terrell’s Polaroid snapshots of the first Apple-1 computers are cool, just like our reception to Jordan Mechner’s new Karateka game. On eBay, we discover the Androbot is not just another neat product from a Nolan Bushnell company, but another reason we prefer the Apple II to other platforms. And Ken’s accidental purchase of some Microzines produces the concept for a new and very expensive podcast!Click past the jump for links mentioned in this episode.Introduction (No Quarter podcastArcade Explorers booksKen’s review of Max Brooks’ World War ZOrgan Trail for iOSKen’s Wii U unboxingDenver Apple PiColorado Macintosh Users GroupUser Login (Kay Savetz’s homepageTerrible Nerd, from Savetz PublishingAtariArchives.orgClassic Computer Magazine ArchiveDouglas Engelbart’s Mother of All DemosKevin’s Free Printables & FaxZero sitesKevin on the Retro Computing RoundtableName.com domain name registrarLiquid Web: Storm on Demand hosting companyII News (10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10, by Nick Montfort, et alThe 8 Bit Weapon Collection 1998-2012The early days of PCs as seen through DEAD TREESRemembering the EasyKey keyboard overlay for the Apple IIPaul Terrell’s Polaroid photos of the Apple-1Help KansasFest by shopping at Amazon.comTIME‘s top 100 video games everElite Dangerous: KickstarterTrade WarsSave the Day, an HTML5-based Choplifter remake (hat tip: Hanuman Welch)Karateka not so hot with Ken or MetacriticRIP, Tony Gonzalez of Ultima GSApple Pickings (Androbot Topo II robot, Apple IIe, sending unit, Toposoft software (video)The history of Androbot, Inc.Heathkit H.E.R.O robotsKen’s new Microzines, complete with case!Carrington’s DoubleTake podcastJeri Ellsworth’s C64 Direct-to-TV joystickA modern PC inside a Commodore 64 caseCurt Vendel’s Atari Inc: Business Is Fun, courtesy KickstarterCommodore 64 games on the Nintendo Wii’s Virtual ConsoleThe post Open Apple #22 (Dec 2012): Kay Savetz, 10 PRINT, Polaroids, and Microzine first appeared on Open Apple.
