     @a2_4am You really have to wonder who the market was at that point. School districts without funds to upgrade their computer labs...?

     @herrprofdr I assume so. School districts were always technology laggards, especially elementary schools. But Apple had already shipped 80 MHz PowerPC Macs in March 1994. It really boggles the mind how much overlap there was between technological generations.

     Loading screen shows ©1994, and files are dated June 9, 1994, making this one of the last commercial Apple II titles released on 5.25-inch floppy disk.

     For perspective, other notable software released in 1994 would include Bryce, Final Fantasy VI, HoTMetaL, and PHP.
