Restarting my thread for #WozADay videos, where I play through the @internetarchive Woz-A-Day collection of #AppleII disk images from @a2_4am in upload order and post a video a day! You can find the old thread here: https://botsin.space/@ryanfb/109609254864284187

#WozADay: Planetfall r10 (1998)

a classic entry in the space janitor adventure genre

There’s a corresponding collection/series for Classic Macintosh disk images called Moof-A-Day: https://archive.org/details/moofaday?&sort=publicdate

I actually started making videos for that series first, which you can find here, but I outran the uploads and paused doing them temporarily—2 videos a day is kind of a relentless production schedule. I’m planning on picking it back up once I find some time to build up a buffer first! https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXVtlqgyC7v3vD2wyKTy9ucUfwW5jJjFc

#WozADay: Sub Battle Simulator (1986)

Another sim from Epyx, but this time I’ve already played the Mac port for Moof A Day—will it make any difference?

Sponsored by…a company that makes bomber jackets!

#WozADay: Impossible Mission (1984)

split on whether this game or its sequel is more confusing

#WozADay: Lock ‘n’ Chase (1982)

In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the Lock, who slam doors behind themselves to avoid being caught, and the Chase, who pursue the Locks - these are their stories.

#WozADay: The World’s Greatest Baseball Game (1985)

Is…is this an unacknowledged ripoff of Star League Baseball (1983)?

#WozADay: Tass Times In Tonetown (1986)

in all the excitement I forgot to explain that “Tass” came from Harvard’s Latin motto “veritas” which the developers started saying as “very tass” as slang for something cool

#WozADay: Rendezvous with Rama (1984)

#WozADay: The Movie Monster Game (1986)

That’s right, it’s an officially-licensed Toho #Godzilla game on the #AppleII!

#WozADay: The Spy Strikes Back (1983)

the sequel to Spy’s Demise (1982), I probably should have done some more recon before recording this because it left me baffled

#WozADay: Frogger II (1984)

apparently this game expects a joystick saturation value about 10% higher than most #AppleII games, and as a result “right” and “down” don’t work in most emulators. so we beat on, frogs against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past

#WozADay: Battlezone (1983)

loses a little something in the translation from vector to raster here
