Apple games flickered and sucked ass. It's time to admit it, bro. Also: The sound of a planet blowing up on an Apple resembled someone spilling a bowl of pista

  It sounds more like you want to say that the Apple II+ sucked. That’s fair. I don’t disagree with that. The sound was generated by a single click which if repeated fast enough became a buzz. I wrote a nice little routine to emulate pink noise, once, so it would sound like a car skidding. That was kind of cool. I sense that you are too young to have first hand knowledge of these things, but if you do then your memories are just as faded as mine. I remember that we didn’t have flicker. And I was in the industry at the time developing games for the Apple II.
