Cleaning up the Asimov Want List

[Hot Rod <hotrod.apple2@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I rooted around for what seemed to be the most recent 'Asimov Want List' (dated 2010 though), and started rummaging around to see what's been made available, what I had, and what's left.  Here's what I came up with.

Are there any other 'missing' or 'wanted' Apple II programs?

Old list with comments
----------------------

Arcade Volume I from Keypunch Software- It had several nice action games by "Rod" or "Hot Rod" including Sea Hunt and Galactic Glider. – This is actually Keypunch’s ‘Seahunt’ disk (on the box; has a title of ‘Micro Arcade’ on boot though), and is on Asimov as Galactic Glider_J-Walker_Seahunt (2 sides).  So I think this can be removed.

Berzerker Raids – this should actually be ‘Berserker Raids’.   This was from Berserker Works, and I don’t think this was released for the Apple. Could be removed.

Car Builder – already posted on Asimov.

Conflict in Vietnam (probably needs to be in .nib form) – already on Asimov

Cross Country Canada – this is on the VirtualApple site (http://www.virtualapple.org/crosscountrycanada.html)

Dragon Fire (not the arcade game)- The title screen had inversed text, centered, and it said DRAGON  FIRE; definitely low-res; the maze is a rip off of Super Dungeon and Dragonmaze. I think the character was four squares big, and was red. ... Probably from Level 10. – No idea about this one.

Empire II: Interstellar Sharks (1982, EduWare) – don’t have
Empire III: Armageddon (1984, EduWare) – don’t have

Gertrude's Puzzles (The Learning Company) – already on Asimov
Gertrude's Secrets (The Learning Company) – already on Asimov

Gwendolyn (1983, Artworx) picture-text adventure - I don’t think this was released for the Apple.

Hot Rod and Hot Rod 2 – no idea about these.

Ice Demons- You use the paddles to control 1 or 2 characters that shoot arrows at demons that emerge from platforms of ice. One of them was a happy face; one of them was a happy face with sunglasses. – I've just uploaded this to Asimov. It's kind of in a goofy multi-file format from the old crack of it.  If I have time, I might clean it up into a single file.

John Madden Football – already on Asimov

La Femme qui ne supportait pas les ordinateurs (The woman who couldn't stand computers) by Chine Lanzmann – no idea about this.

Match Boxes (Broderbund) – this was C-64, didn’t come out for the Apple, so I think could be removed.

Music Construction Set (mouse-capable version) – I've just uploaded to Asimov (came in 1985).

Pride and Prejudice – this is also from Berserker Works, and I don’t think came out for the Apple, so could be removed.

Quintic- listed in Nibble Vol 7 No 2, February 1986 – already on Asimov

Rogue Trooper – this was C-64, didn’t come out for the Apple, so I think could be removed.

Sign of the Wolf – this is also from Berserker Works, and I don’t think came out for the Apple.

Silent Service (8-bit version) – already on Asimov

Star Warrior – already on Asimov

Starflight 1 and 2 (PC only?) – yes, PC only. Didn’t come out for Apple.

Thunder Cloud – no idea what this is

Toy Shop (Broderbund) – already on Asimov

Transportation Transformation – from Toucan, was for 128K Apple

Wizard War – this is also from Berserker Works, and I don’t think came out for the Apple.

Worms – no idea what this is

So, after clearing out what's already on Asimov and what wasn't released for the Apple, I think the list reduces to:

New reduced list
----------------

Dragon Fire (not the arcade game)- The title screen had inversed text, centered, and it said DRAGON  FIRE; definitely low-res; the maze is a rip off of Super Dungeon and Dragonmaze. I think the character was four squares big, and was red. ... Probably from Level 10. 
Empire II: Interstellar Sharks (1982, EduWare) 
Empire III: Armageddon (1984, EduWare) 
Hot Rod and Hot Rod 2
La Femme qui ne supportait pas les ordinateurs (The woman who couldn't stand computers) by Chine Lanzmann 
Thunder Cloud 
Transportation Transformation – from Toucan, was for 128K Apple
Worms

I think that a few of those are likely suspect as being available for Apple, but not sure.

Regards.
