anyone still have the other link?

No, the two 'game servers' are quite different beasts.  One lets you
connect your II to a PC and download game files (not disk images) over
the serial link then run them.  The other is an Apple II emulator
program that can execute in your browser as an ActiveX control.

I think you are looking for http://www.virtualapple.org


What the man said. :-D  The other is "Apple 2 Game Server" and can be
found at http://a2gameserver.berlios.de/

The current state of things in v1.1 is that, as stated, you cannot use
full .dsk images.  I'm about 2/3 of the way there but had to resolve
some underlying compatibility problems before finishing the disk image
support.  I'm happy to say I am ready to resume working on the disk
emulation for dos 3.3 disk images, but it will not be a complete
solution since every commercial game had its own operating system and
very few of those were based on dos 3.3.

Hmmm?  The vast majority of games were based on a slightly modified
DOS 3.3.

(Later ProDOS-based games and a few games that used their own very
cut-down OS were exceptional, not the rule.)
