I am trying to get the NIB images of Amazon, an adventure game from
1985, running in AppleWin, and I'm having no success. I have been
able to load the initial screen that lists the telephone number for
the old BBS of the guy who made the disks copy-able, which is off of
Side 3/Volume 3. However, when I then press a key, it just hangs. It
also gives me an error message if I swap sides at that screen and
prior to pressing a key.
Anyone ever gotten this one working?
I'm trying to get it running because an old computer magazine talks
about the game and that piqued my curiosity.
Try this version:
http://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/amazon
It's on one 3.5" disk as opposed to multiple 5.25" disks. Don't know
how 8-bit Apple II emulators deal with 2images though.
The quest for more 8-bit stuff on 3.5" disk continues...check out the
complete current listing for games:

and for educational software:

Thank you, though I really do want to get it working on the 5.25"
version, at least this should allow me to play it.
By the way, where is the link to Amazon on your menu system? There
doesn't seem to be a link to the page containing Amazon, and there
also doesn't seem to be a link for the "8-bit educational on 3.5"
disk" page unless one digs through the "NEWS" page. Am I missing one
of the software menu pages?
