I can't believe I haven't reviewed this before now... Oops!

As an Apple ][+ user from way back (I was half of the "team" that frankensteined Castle Smurfenstein from Muse's classic Castle Wolfenstein), it's great to have an emulator that truly recreates the 8-bit experience. Little details, like the accurate reproduction of the sound of the disk drive mechanism shuffling back and forth as it loads from the disk images, while totally useless, are utterly cool. It wouldn't be an Apple ][ if it just loaded up without a peep! (And yes you can turn if off if you've had enough nostalgia...)

It allows you to save the state of the machine so you can resume where you were, or always start a given game at the startup screen without all that disk shuffling if you like. You can print in fully-accurate dot-matrix glory and save the output to a PDF file. It comes with a slew of virtual cards to fill its virtual slots so you can be the envy of all your friends 25 years ago.

The price of the full license feels a bit high at first, but then again thinking about all the karma I've accumulated from the games I copied back then...now that I'm a grownup with an actual income, I can certainly afford to pay the price of one game (then or now, the prices haven't changed a whole lot) to help balance the scales a bit! It took me about two seconds to fork over the license fee, and I've had that warm fuzzy feeling ever since.

It's 80's-tastic!
