Re: List of Apple II Sirius Software Titles - complete?



I attempted this a couple years ago.  Wanted to get all the old Apple II games up online in a nice Wiki format.  Built a couple of Windows scripts that would fire off each disk image in AppleWin then take a screen shot 5 seconds into the run.  Had programmers name, publishing company and the year published.  For example  

Name: Bilestoad
Programmer(s): Marc Goodman
Publisher: Datamost
Year: 1982

Links from programmer would lead to landing pages with all the other titles they were involved with.  Same for publisher & year published.  For description I had the grand idea that I would play each game and write a quick review.  But the shear amount of disks makes it a huge task for one person, and how many times can I write "PacMan clone" or "space invaders clone".  Toss into the mix... a large group of games are near impossible to play without directions.  

Anyhow...child #1 showed up and everything got put on hold.  That was 5 years ago...  :(
  
> Actually, that's a good point.  It would be good to create a searchable and sortable catalog of all Apple ][ software (and hardware add-ons) and include year of release, publisher, programmers / developers, etc.  There's partial catalogs here and there, but nothing complete (AFAIK).
