This month on Open Apple, Mike and Ken chat with Brendan Robert of the Java Apple Computer Emulator (JACE) and Apple Game Server. Innovative cross-platform tools are being used to bring Lawless Legends, an original 8-bit RPG, to the Apple II and Commodore 64; as part of the programming team, Brendan takes us behind the scenes. He lives in a lawless land himself — the Old West of Texas, where gaming icons Ion Storm, Zynga, Lord British, and Rooster Teeth reside. But when it comes to games, sometimes you can’t do better than Tetris, of which there are many new and devious deviations. We get rid of old toys, like a SCSI CD-ROM 7-disc changer and a LANceGS card, so we can all have room for new toys, like A2CLOUD, Apple2Pi, BenchmarkeD, AppleIIWorks Envoy, and Final Cut Pro X. And sadly, Wayne Green of InCider and Byte has passed away; we remember his magazines fondly.Click past the jump for links mentioned in this episode.Introduction (Robert Frost’s OctoberSend voicemail!United States federal government shutdownApple II subredditThe International Center for the History of Electronic GamesKen Gagne’s off-brand MP3 players on eBayA spare LANceGSSCSI 7-disc CD-ROM changerSSI AD&D gamesUpgrading the Mac mini, by Paul ZaleskiFinal Cut Pro XXbox One & PlayStation 4 pre-ordered for unboxing!User Login (Brendan Robert, aka BLuRryLawless Legends on FacebookLawless Legends on GitHubJava Apple Computer Emulator (JACE)Prince of Persia for the Commodore 64 (C64)Outlaw Editor for Lawless LegendsApple Game Server & Apple Game Server Online!Wasteland 2 on KickstarterII News (Blocks of Explosive Dismemberment at BostonFIG is not like StructrisFirst-Person Tetris and Not TetrisBastard TetrisUltima IV from Good Old GamesMockingboard-rendered Ultima musicUltima Forever: Quest for the AvatarBoston’s Digital DenThe Goodwill Computer Museum of Austin, TexasJohn Romero’s Apple II reunion at Ion Storm (1998)Steve Chiang of Shareware Games > DuelTris”>DuelTris joins ZyngaVintage Computer Festival Southwest 3.0Richard Garriott’s Britannia Manor for saleAbington (Mass.)
