So I'm trying to relive my lost youth, and most of my Apple ][ disks
have gone bad, So there are two programs I'm looking for, neither one of
which is exactly an adventure in a classical sense, but I figure you
folks are still going to be my best resource.
The first one is an early, early Apple II game. Probably 1979. It's
low-res graphics (40x40x16), and it's a 4-level dungeon. You fight your
way to the bottom and the exit. I remember it being fantastically
difficult for a second-grader. What is this?
The second one is probably a little later. "Death Maze" is what's being
suggested to me by my brain. It's a first-person maze game, sort of
like Wizardry, except it's more a puzzle game. I never got much of
anywhere in it. There was a calculator, with some digits visible, and
if you cleaned it you'd get another digit, and there was a guillotine
that whacked your head off if you went under it. Does this ring any
bells for anyone?
Finally: is there a walkthrough or a notes site, or ANYTHING, for the
good old Apple ][ "The Prisoner"? I *know* I once got pretty far in
this, but now I find myself traversing the initial maze, and then
without anything to do but hit W twice and do it again.
