Background:
My first computer was an Apple ][ variant, the 64k Franklin Ace 1000. Upon receiving that machine I was transported to paradise, intuitively grasping the interactive potential for storytelling and entertainment embodied by that simple conglomeration of silicon and plastic. Any time not spent in school or putting together RPG campaigns was spent designing, playing, or programming computer games.
Those projects consisted of a variety of games on the Apple ][, written in both Applesoft and 6052 assembly. There were text adventures and RPG's in both the style of Wizardry and Ultima. Nearly every one of them was completed and is still playable today on Apple ][ emulators.
