The topic is satirical but the game itself is legitimate (and pretty good).
(From Memory) It's 1975. You are Woz and you have just demo'ed the Apple
I at the Homebrew Computer Club. Now you have to leave the building
without the cronies of big-iron computing getting a hold of you and
destroying all evidence of your existence. If you fail, everybody will
be stuck with TRS-80s and VIC-20s for the next decade.
It's a 3D game roughly in the spirit of Wolfenstein 3D, only the
graphics are simplified to make it run well (and run well it does) at 1
MHz. IIRC, it needs a joystick to play.
(Please note that I am not affiliated with the author in any way, so
take this with a grain of salt. I just like the game.)
