You can find it at:

ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/images/games/file_based/fastgammon_gammongambler_hi-rescribbage_kingcribbage_microgammon20.dsk.gz

Hi-res soccer, etc is at:

ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/images/games/file_based/hi-resbaseball_hi-resfootball_hi-ressoccer_foosball.dsk.gz


But I encourage you to continue to keep going to figure out the copy
protection, because that's always great fun too.

Thanks!

This leads me to my next question though, which I think should be much
simpler.  How do I extract only those games from the disk images, and
create standalone disks?


The cracked games are executable binary files on a DOS 3.3 disk with a
small file selector added.  They are put together on the disk because
they will fit and thus take up fewer disks than if packaged separately.

If you want to make a disk that runs one game automatically, INIT a
DOS 3.3 disk and use Copy II Plus to copy the desired game file to
the disk.  Then use Copy II Plus to "CHANGE BOOT PROGRAM" to the
binary file.
