Before the coach arrives at its destination the dwarves take their loot back into their suitcase, zip themselves inside and wait to be collected by their partners in crime. |

The History of the Apple II as a Gaming Platform (Jan 31 2008 18:18 GMT) - Matt Barton writes "Gamasutra is running a feature on the venerable Apple II platform, which practically defined the early home computer industry and was home to many of the greatest games and developers of all time. The authors discuss the platform's lifespan and many iterations, struggles with illegal distribution, and legendary Apple II games such as Prince of Persia, John Madden Football, and Ultima.

Another benefit of this piracy is that much of the software archived today at online repositories are the cracked versions. |
