Apple 1 Games

[noodlescracher28]

What were your Zterm settings?

Game Of The Year 2012 xD

[Bocolson]

That's kind of sad actually...

[KartSeven1]

@robfilmmaker How did you display the output of your Apple I to your MacBook?

[robfilmmaker]

@KartSeven1 Its actually the other way around. I'm using ZTerm (serial terminal program) to send the program code from my macbook to my apple 1. Its much faster to do it that way rather than typing in the whole program by hand.

[TheQuindecillion]

That's actually kind of interesting. That chess program must have been rather primitive, long before Deep Blue. Still, I'm sure it would have been fun to play.

[Yottskry]

it doesnt even check if you make the correct moves, your king jumped all over the board. This game is the very first step in gaming possible

[gratsoy]

What made you want to purchase a replica? Was it due to an interest in programing for older systems or did you do it purely for the fun of it and/or nostalgia?

[robfilmmaker]

@gratsoy A little bit of both actually. I wanted to see how it worked, but also thought it would be cool to build. Draws attention in my house.

[adams2887]

didn't know deal or no deal was that old

[meylan0]

no thats the Fallout Minigames

[linyuan123]

You know, for some reason, your gentle taps of the keyboard calm me.. I don't know.

[alexpounder]

Will it Blend?

[ronaldsanfran]

"PLAY GLOBAL THERMONUCLEAR WAR"

[robfilmmaker]

@ronaldsanfran The only winning move is not to play.

[LettuceGames]

@ronaldsanfran I actually love you.

[stanicstrela]

OH MAN!!!

This is Matrix!!!!

[bubbleheadft]

@stanicstrela Just...no

[BrianPicchi]

This is really neat. Thanks for sharing. I actually saw one of the original Apple Is at the Mountain View Computer History Museum. 

[supercloss]

400.000 dollars!!! good job man :)

[frogvillage]

where did you get a new motherboard?

[robfilmmaker]

@frogvillage you can buy the kit from brielcomputers.

[A1babaU]

can you imagine in less than 30 years (let's say 25) PC's evolves as hell ? o.o , I really can't imagine how will be the future

[MatthewandMario]

could you do that back in 1976?

[sparkster7744]

SO fun...

[badderthanyou]

Basic was so much fun.

[jaedmorv]

thumbs up if this reminded you a little of fallout,

[ctheuploader]

how did you get the model and the software for entering all those lines of code, and where did you even get that code from?

[robfilmmaker]

@ctheuploader the kit is sold by brielcomputers dotcom. The site as the software codes you can load up.

[Pinwormx]

Cool

[sos666ful]

it's apple 2 laptop?

[helium73]

what did they do without a disk drive? How did you save your work? If you typed a text file on the apple would you be able to save it at all? Could you save your basic programs?

[robfilmmaker]

@helium73 It is essentially a toy, not a work machine. You really couldn't do much with it. Remember this was the very first consumer computer. Disk drives came with the Apple ][.

[WindowsLover6767]

@robfilmmaker You can use cassette drives. <:)

[rinkavideos64]

@robfilmmaker Outta topic but what is the difference between the Apple ][ and the Apple II? Or it's just names?

[arthurutnehmer]

@robfilmmaker can you import files with casses.

[dtfageet]

@robfilmmaker a toy? Nothing has changed.

[WindowsLover6767]

@robfilmmaker You saved using Cassette. Your right, the Disk ][ came out later, but trust me, the used cassettes. ;)

[cygil1]

@helium73 You had a number of options. For loading youcould hand-key in a program using they keyboard in either BASIC or raw hex codes. With only 4k of RAM, or about enough RAM to store 50 lines of text, programs had to be short, and you could learn to type them in by hand pretty quickly with enough practice.

Or you could buy the Apple-1 cassette interface that allowed you to dump or load a memory image from a standard cassette player.

[futoadproductions]

@helium73 dude you couldnt even go on the internet it was a home computer it was just how u see it an dim ten and i know this u would only play game or at least watch it boot ha ha

[SuperVorticon]

@helium73 You could add a cassette interface to save and load programs. Slow, but it worked pretty well. Not sure if that's incorporated in the Apple I replica kit though.

[den2003]

@helium73 With cassette tapes

[DarkBallYE]

I'm so happy that I can finally get to see one of those things working ^_^ I know it's a replica, but close enough :D THANK YOU :D

Thanks to Steve and Steve for Apple. 1955 - 2011

[7715266]

??????????????????????????????­????????????

[SuperDIMA1997]

Yooooooooooooooo ^_^

[nejercom]

Will it run Crysis ?

[RobloxProuductions]

Where'd you get your Apple I Replica? I want one.

[9408994041]

can it run ipad apps

[titinajackson]

cool!!!

[ReddoFreddo]

the @ from apple lol

[jamesoleruster]

Could you make some instructions for the replica so it doesn't have to redraw the board every time you move a piece in Microchess? That would be great if you did. :)

[shanelson1]

Way cool! How do you connect it to your mac book? with a serial to usb? And how do you send code from your mac book to replica?

[Apple1builder]

Where did you find the program microchess for your Apple 1 replica ? Thanks a lot for your reply.

[robfilmmaker]

@Apple1builder Included in the kit are some .txt files of games with all the hex code. You may be able to download the txt document from Briels website or somewhere on the web. All programs have to be entered by hand, or the way I did it, using Zterm, which allows you to paste the code into the window and it loads it into the apple 1 for you.

[djl12328]

@robfilmmaker how did you make the replica???

[samtheman3000]

hello joshua

'Good evening professor

[babylonkid]

okay so your the ultimate loser. now what?

[arbayer2]

HEY GUYS, THE CASE IS TRANSLUCENT! :P

[battlestations1941]

the computer is all like "What the fuck is a .com?"

[mspeter97]

@battlestations1941 have to tell him "IT'S A COMMAND FILE!"

[mpollux2]

IS IT MY AMAGINATION OR ARE YOU RUNNING 10.4 ON A MAC BOOK PRO?!?!?!? GEES run snow lepord or at least lepord

[robfilmmaker]

@mpollux2 I'm now on snow leopard, at the time I made the video 3 years ago I was on tiger.

[quangluu96]

so thats how it loads a game 0.0

[silverlock112]

zork?

[ClickClackClickClack]

I couldn't imagine coding on such a machine - no assembler, at least not out of the box, just hex. Sure there's basic, but...

Not bad if you wanted to connect to a BBS via a 300 Baud modem though.

[MBP6705]

Awesome looking case!

[programmer4561]

INSTALL CRYSIS!!!!!!!!

[Ilive4pie]

LOL imagine black ops with numbers as graphics xD

[EADEACH]

I whant play Crysis on this :)

[BigOldCar]

You should totally play Global Thermonuclear Warfare. Or would that require an Imsai? Yeah, probably better you enjoy a nice game of Chess.

[qwertzu3]

how did users at the time start software? did they have to put all those hex codes in by hand?

[TrickyMagic12]

This is not the apple 1!!! because the Apple 1 is made of wood....

[robfilmmaker]

@TrickyMagic12 Actually, had you done some research you would know, Apple 1's were sold as just the motherboard. You had to build your own case for them. Some people made them out of wood, some didn't. Mine is acrylic. The cases weren't standard until the Apple II was released.

My motherboard is a replica reproduction, see description for info.

[TrickyMagic12]

@robfilmmaker yeah i just did but i heard the first one was made of wood and I did some research about it...when did you buy your what year?

[TheFunnyfilm]

@robfilmmaker Yeah but on 0:03 it said "Replica" its not a real Apple computer :o!!!!

[mspeter97]

@robfilmmaker so at the time you buy a computer...the motherboard and you can fuck yourselves if you want a case?what about the keyboard?

[robfilmmaker]

@mspeter97 You gotta make your own case, and use your own keyboard. It kind of puts you back in time because when the original apple 1 was sold, it was just that, the mother board only, you had to find everything else yourself.

[jmbp13inch]

@robfilmmaker Well but only a motherboard… So Wozniak had produced the motherboard himself???

[robfilmmaker]

@jmbp13inch Yup, Woz is a mad (by mad I mean amazing) genius, a living legend. He single handily invented the personal computer.

[multicom1267]

@robfilmmaker With some help from Chuck Peddle.

[typeanoise]

@TrickyMagic12

Idiot. Apple 1s were just a circuit board. You had to supply your own case, keyboard and monitor.

[TheHardstyler51]

this is awesome =D

[ryandward]

Seeing these types of games gives me extreme frustration and angst. I'm so glad I wasn't born back then.

[richardmaudsley77]

@ryandward Err...? Why? That's not exactly a normal reaction to somebody playing videogames.

[XanaduZune]

@richardmaudsley77 Those old computers sucked balls. Using one that primitive is and was a waste of time.

[richardmaudsley77]

@XanaduZune Super cool story bro. Can I hear about how you fell off the clue train next?

[TheHolySpirit]

@ryandward Imagine never ever having seen a real computer before and learning, from scratch, how to build and program one. The satisfaction from creating something totally new and unique was incredible. 99.99% of students today know how to use computers, but are clueless as to how they actually work. The expectation of what a game should be was different back then. The comparative leap of new technology was greater with new computers..Now the fundamentals don't change. Then they didn't exist!

[ITSbigwillystyle]

This reminds me of that movie 'war games'

[mycelows]

@ITSbigwillystyle Yeah, only that computer was an IMSAI, which had in 8080 Intel processor IIRC, it also didn't have monitor or keyboard, but it did have its own case and it was fully functional out-of-box because you could input programs and data through its front panel switches (each being one bit) and see the results on some flashing lights. I admit it was kind of boring.

[GreatNorthWeb]

@ITSbigwillystyle I built a game for a 1977 PET 2001 computer that was inspired by War Games. Check out BioTerror! on my channel.

[optionen100]

@ITSbigwillystyle

the only winning move is not to play

[zoom98]

LOL at someone actually typing in "Creative Computing, Morristown New Jersey". I always thought all the readers of "Basic Computer Games" would substitute their own names.

[marceloyanez111pt2]

Sweet decals for your macbook

[GikoSan]

Where did you buy the connector and what software did you use to write the code in?

[Pentomino]

So the chess pieces just disappeared?

Was the cassette interface any faster than this?

[robfilmmaker]

I think I was in a mode where you could set up the board, which is why the king disappeared. But I don't know for sure, I didn't spend much time with the game.

As far as the cassette interface, I don't think it would be any faster than the serial port at 2400 baud. I've heard they were pretty slow, but I have never used one so I don't know for sure.

[ningamidget289]

where did you get the codes to run the apple 1 clone games

[sundhaug92]

@robfilmmaker cassette interface: 300 baud IIRC

[brymazter22]

@robfilmmaker i saw the white king in line with the blackpawns!!! haha

[robfilmmaker]

Check out my new video, I added cool green lights the acrylic case.

[willavr]

@Pentomino

The cassette card ran at 2400 baud, but it was much faster than the 2400 baud serial. The serial interface in Briel's replica 1 inputs characters just like key presses. Since the displays circuit is so slow (60 herts) the host has to delay 10ms between chars and 500ms at line ends.

[MarcoZ1ITA1]

@Pentomino I used cassettes for a Commodore 64, and trust me, it was slow as HELL, especially with some bigger programs.
