you should make it 40x48 and then you can run Apple II lo-res games on it like Myst or Another World

- mcphage 3y agoI don’t think Myst ever came out for the Apple II, since it required a CD-ROM drive, and was originally written in HyperCard (or a variant).

- mypalmike 3y agoPresumably they're talking about the recent so-called "demake". https://www.vintageisthenewold.com/now-you-can-play-myst-on-an-apple-ii-the-game-demake-is-now-available https://www.vintageisthenewold.com/now-you-can-play-myst-on-...
- mcphage 3y agoOh! Uh... I don't know what to say about that.
- deater 3y agoit just seems a shame there are so many projects like this where people spend so much time making it, but then run yet another pong or snake on it. there are a lot of cool game concepts you can do on a 40x48 RGB grid, as shown by some recent 8-bit releases. Check out pico-8 and tic-80 for examples too. Having a multiply or divide instruction available is game changing
- jacquesm 3y agoI run 'pong' and 'snake' on it because they're recognizable and because they can teach kids what makes the games they already know tick on the inside. Of course you can make anything else on it as well, and my kids come up with all kinds of neat ideas all by themselves.
