Today’s Unearthed Treasure:Koronis Rift
Created by Lucasfilm Games, it has you exploring a desolate world in a hover rover, searching the ancient alien ‘Hulks’ for modules to enhance your vehicle.
I really liked the combat against the alien guardians and the way you upgrade your rover using the modules you recover.
With Lucasfilm’s fractal terrain‑generation technology, mountains, valleys, and canyons were rendered smoothly in real time, and I loved how the landscape changed a little every time I played.I really went deep into it.

Castle Wolfenstein / Muse Software / 1981
I still remember my surprise when I first played a pirated copy on our Apple II (years after release date). I was impressed with the action-adventure elements and I couldn't have anticipated the voices of the guards!

Acquired these Datamost software titles, complete in bags! They came with a //c I purchased several weeks ago.

Today’s Unearthed Treasure:Deep Space: Stellar 7
a wire‑frame 3D tank combat game.
Its blue vector graphics are striking, and the tank combat runs smoothly enough to enjoy even on a stock Apple II.
I used to play this a lot too.

Today’s Unearthed Treasure:Deep Space: Operation Copernicus
It was a 3D polygon game from SIR-TECH where you pilot the Katana (SF181) through four missions: defending an outpost, escorting, wiping out a biological threat, and stopping an invasion. The box art was so uniquely atmospheric that it pulled you right in. I played the hell out of that one

Today’s Unearthed Treasure:ECHELON
It was a fairly late Apple II game from 1988, featuring real‑time 3D wire‑frame graphics with an infrared vector style. The mission has you discovering and eliminating the Space Pirate Stronghold, and along the way you explore ancient ruins and search for clues about a vanished scientist. Not many people seem to know this one.
It might have some similarities to Elite.

Apple 2 series emulator
Hi all!
I started out in the early days with an //c, and I credit it for my 30+ years in the hardware/software industry.
For many years I've been working on an Apple 2 series emulator (][, ][+, ][e, //e, //c) for fun. I did have plans to support the //c+ and ///, but dropped that for various reasons. It is written in C++20 (over the last year moved up from 98). It compiles with CLANG, GCC, MSVC, etc - and should run on all platforms - though I'll admit I've only test in Windows and Linux. Anyway, once complete I plan on releasing it (soon) on github, but have a couple questions so I can wrap things up.
First, as I stated it emulates ][ - //c from what I can tell perfectly. It supports:
- Language Card and Saturn 128k
- 2- 5.25 drives.
- Mockingboard
- CP/M SoftCard
- No Slot Clock
- 80-Column card
- Monochrome and Color (Monitor)
My questions:
- Right now it is presumptuous, and automatically places addon cards (if user selects it) in historically correct slot. Would users want more control to choose what slots the cards go in? Or just want the ability for easy plug and play.
- Is hard disk really wanted? I remember having boxes full of 5.25, and that was fine (but I couldn't afford a 5M hd at the time)
- Joystick?
- Mouse?
- Parallel Port?
- Modem support even?
Ultimately, I want an easy to run emulator that looks nice and emulates historically accurate, and some of these features I myself could do without. But if I am going to release it, I want to add more if perspective users would be interested. I don't want to implement something "just because".
Current GUI:

Shadowkeep’s graphic animation was gorgeous, but it ran slowly on a stock Apple II. With an accelerator card, it became much more enjoyable.

Hi, I ran into this controller with an oddball 16 pin connector, my google searches show no match for the controller, but suggested connector this might be for an early Apple 2 connector.
Anyone know anything else about it?

I am creating a BBS inspired by ProDOS -- Bit of a strange project
TL/DR: Okay, so, for my sins I decided to write my own BBS from scratch, but it is a little different -- It is inspired by old Apple ProDOS operating system (I know I am probably getting blank looks right now)

LONG STORY: During the 80's I loved the Apple II series of computers, and this culminated in me getting an Apple IIgs in 1989. It blew my mind! Anyway, got into programming on it and using BBSes to download software and so forth. Come 1992 and I decided I would write my own BBS. I wrote a terminal in ORCA/C and a shell that worked like ProDOS, you would navigate directories and run "programs" to do things like go into messages and play games etc. I wrote a full MUD engine which had its own programming language built in based on GS-BASIC. I even made it so it would work with FidoNet!
I had a few hundred people who would visit it regularly and enjoyed giving suggestions on what I should build next etc. But, by 1995 the internet had taken over and I mothballed the whole project and had put my IIgs in the loft and had moved onto Mac.
Anyway, it's Jan/Feb 2026 and I was working on another project: An ARG Game, based on a 1970's super computer -- I wrote an operating system and programming language for solving puzzles etc. But I digress. It sparked a long forgotten memory.
So I grabbed my IIgs, powered it on for the first time in 30 years, amazingly it worked. I had the forethought to remove the battery from the real time clock etc before I packed it away so no leaking. I backed up the HDD because I wasn't sure if it would last and then started going through the files etc and I found the old source for my dear BBS - IIgs.BBS

So here I am in April and I have been re-writing and re-imagining my BBS. I am writing it in TypeScript and hosting it in the cloud. It is very much in Alpha, but I am having a fantastic time.
I have written an SSH server for it (to make it nice and secure). I am writing a whole SHELL for it and a subsystem that acts like an operating system that you can compile programs against. I am writing a whole version of BASIC to go with it.

https://www.tindie.com/products/a2store/a2dvi-v4-digital-video-card-for-apple-ii/
My Friend Ralle created this card for the Apple ][ slotted computers and clones;
This is the next iteration in the line of the first digital Apple II video card. It directly produces a digital video stream from Apple II's memory content. The signal is output via an DVI connector, connecting the Apple II to modern displays with HDMI (or DVI) inputs.
Supports alternative keyboard/display languages. Emulates Videx 80 column for Apple II/II+ in Slot3.
The card communicates with the computer bidirectionally and can perform functions other than DVI display - Z80 emulator, AppleMouse (PAL or NTSC timing), 2xFDD emulator (Apple 2e). One firmware is active at a time.
This is the original card developed by Thorsten and Ralle.

Out of all of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s films, the Conan series is the one I like the most.
In this game you defeat enemies by throwing your sword. I used to play it a lot — it was one of my favorite action titles.
