Hello,
My "reconstructed" Infocom disk(-image) set for Apple II is nearing
completion.
All V3, V4, and V6 games are covered, with the latest official
Infocom-released interpreter versions for each variant (as far as I
know) and also the latest story file versions (from the Masterpieces CD)
- except for V6, where I kept the story files from the Apple II release,
since they're supposedly not quite system-independent.
The interpreter versions I'm using are "M" (from Plundered Hearts) for
V3, "H" (from Nord and Bert) for V4, and "6.17" (from Arthur) for V6. If
you know of any later versions, I'd be interested to know about it.
However my main concern with this posting is the V5 interpreter; the
only one I have found is the "Apple //e Version A" from Beyond Zork.
I'd be happy to locate Apple II 5.25" disk images, preferably without
cracker intro, of any of the following:
1.) "Sherlock: The Riddle of the Crown Jewels"
2.) "Border Zone"
3.) any "Solid Gold" re-releases of earlier games (if they existed for
the Apple at all)
4.) The supposedly existing Apple //c version of "Beyond Zork" which
features "MouseText" character graphics instead of just plain ASCII.
I know the second side of those disks is hard to transfer because of the
non-standard nibble format, but I'd need only an image of the first side
anyway, since the interpreter is contained on it. The first side of all
those disks should be in standard Apple format and transferable to a PC
or Mac with any of ADT, ADTPro, AP2222PC, DSK2FDI, Catweasel Controller,
or whatever else method there might exist.
I'd be very glad to locate any of these, and I offer my thanks in
advance to anybody who can help. I plan to make the image creation
program public as soon as I can complete it with the latest V5
interpreter. That one would probably also make it possible to play some
Inform games on the Apple II for those so inclined, though (as my
experience with the Commodore 64 interpreter suggests) probably only the
earlier ones done with Inform 5 or earlier.
