Re: Instant Pascal screenshots

A good example of what can be done with Applesoft Basic is Silvern
Castle: http://webpages.milwpc.com/finkjc/silverncastle/
The author says he created it in response to the statement in the
Wizardry manual that a game as complex as Wizardry simply couldn't be
done in Applesoft. The latest version is 9.2 and the game is awesome!
To run it you either need an emulator, or real Apple II, capable of
using 800k disks or a hard drive. Check it out!
