I am not sure - but I think there are still some places selling Apple software.
Ebay and others sell stuff in auctions, but the prices can be very low or very
high - so watch out.  Also, quite often there are people selling second hand
games on the newsgroups.  A good bet would be to keep an eye on Thrift shops and
car boot sales, etc.

If you have got a PC or a MAC or an Amiga or something, you could also download
some Apple ][ programs (ftp.apple.asimov.net) and transfer them over to your ][
- but you need a serial card or super serial card to do this - these were not
standard in the ][+ - and a null modem cable - and some transfer software.

I am also looking out to buy back some of the favourite games that I had back in
the early 80's.

I recommed keeping an eye out for : Aztec, Sneakers, Ceiling Zero, Rescue
Raiders, Castle Wolfenstein, and others - there was loads of classics on the ][
- but they might seem more special to us Apple ][ fanatics that they would to
someone who wasn't an Apple ][ user.

Good luck and don't worry about the ][+ - it was a fantastic machine - and it
will run the vast majority of stuff.
