Life and Death on the Apple IIgs

I've decided to occasionally put up videos about Apple IIgs games, since the IIgs platform seems to be such an underdog and a lot of people have played these games but never seen the (usually graphically and aurally superior) IIgs versions. This time around, let's play doctor in the preeminent microcomputer medical simulation.

How do you find KEGS? I'm using the Linux version but finding a lot of the games don't function very well and the system state becomes unstable very easily. I'd love to find a stable emulator but it's not high priority for anyone unfortantely.

@22ness0hayden It works very well in Windows. Not the most stable emulator I've ever used, but quite adequate; it rarely crashes or acts up on me. Then again, it probably depends on what programs you're running.

@LateBit do you know were I can buy a apple 2. Computer I trid ebay but no 1 will ship to the uk

[LateBlt]

@Ryanr75rc I'm afraid I really don't; I don't think you'll find a better general resource than eBay, but there should be people around Europe who still have them sitting around if you can find them.

I like your girl voice. :-)

The phone numbers to call back people come with the game. There's a very good guide to this game online written by Josh Mandel.

copy protection? how?

[sideslide23]

they should offer taht game at Lamson College whare I worked at.

@eternalcheesecake Thanks, I'll check it out. Do love the GS, was a great machine. Mine is sitting under a bed since the Vulcan bit the dust. I threw the original power supply years ago thinking I would never need it. I can't even start it up now :-(

[eternalcheesecake]

@22ness0hayden Try ActiveGS, which will run under Wine on Linux. Works well for me and is actively maintained, even now.

The PC scream is REALLY good!

Thanks for explaining every single stupid obvious thing, real good use of your time + mine. This is a comment.

That's odd, not much of a game, and what is the deal with "copy protection" The IIGS era was 86 to 1990 when it was jettisoned for the MacIntosh

[crank1923]

i played this back when i ran PC-DOS (screw you, microsoft) as my primary OS back in 1992 or so. loved it, mainly because of surgery without anesthetic. it worked differently on PC though; while your patient screamed as soon as you touched him, i could fill the entire field with black scalpel marks & nothing would happen until i released the mouse button. the chief of surgery was just as mad in your video, but i always liked to wonder why he didn't send me to the psych ward for my crimes.

@22ness0hayden:

By the way, I added fullscreen support to it if you would like it.
