Well, after leaving the Apple world back in high school, I've inadvertantly returned. Yesterday I was given an Apple II Plus with one disk drive and a "language card (???)". Thats it. No disks, no manuals, no nuttin! Anyone know where I can get DOS disks or manuals on anything? And what is this Language card for? Memory expansion, it looks like, but anything else? What I really want to get this going for is a Appleworks for my wife (she's a math teacher, and Apples are what they use in most of the schools) and some of the oldie but goodie games for me. Could someone please tell me where I could possibly find these: Starblazer Gobbler Wizadry Theres also a game that I can't remember the name of. I think it starts with a 'B' or a 'C', but am not for sure. You control a gun turret at the bottom center of the screen. Your turret can rotate 180 degrees, from straight left to straight right. Planes fly by overhead, dropping either paratroopers or (If I remember right) bombs. If enough paratroopers make it safely to the ground, they "pile up" and blow you up. If anyone can help me out, please let me know. These are pretty old programs, so if you have them and don't use em anymore, would you be interested in selling them at a reasonable price? Thanx for any help. It feels kinda good to be back working on the original computer I started out on. BRENT D.

You'll need an AppleWorks patcher to get that to run on the ][+. I think you can buy them from the back of Incider. >Theres also a game that I can't remember the name of.

It was the first Apple game I ever played. Todd Whitesel toddpw @ tybalt.caltech.edu P.S. Welcome back.

The game Brent D. describes is called "SABOTAGE". I have a copy of it (al- though I don't play games much anymore). It's pretty neat! John D. Baker ->An Apple ZCPR3 nut// JDB8042@rigel.tamu.edu JDB8042@tamuts.tamu.edu

Remember too that it allowed the use of Integer Basic; thus the name "language card" (I still have a manual, tho' not the computer). //////////////////////////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \ Internet: scottr@gnh-applesauce.cts.com /\ I.D.F.: /\ 'tis but / / AKA: Monte \/ no retreat \/ a scratch \ \ Applesauce BBS: (212) 721-4122 /\ no surrender /\ -- M.P. / /--------------------------------------------------------------------------\ \ Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, / / -- Edgar Allan Poe \ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\//////////////////////////////////////
