Apple II

[genetic]

I was going through my dads old stuff in the depths of the garage, and came across this gem - an Apple II circa 1979.

This model had a 1MHz processor and 8kB of RAM.

It also has two 'Disk II' drives each with a floppy disk inside.

I grew up with this PC as a very young child, so I doubted it would still work. I dusted it off, set it up and powered it up. It worked!!

A floppy disk was in each drive, featuring 4 games each. All the games still work perfectly

Disk 1:
Falcons
Horizon V
Gobblers
Invaders

Disk2:
Choplifter
Raster Blaster
Star Blazer
Sabotage

Still surprised that both floppy disks worked decades later.

This was Apples very first mass-produced micro-computer. 34 years later, it's still working!

Doubt I'd want to sell it just yet. I still need to find the joystick for it though... it almost feels wrong by putting it back in a box after being revived after so many years.

The Apple IIe was my second computer (had the Ohio Scientific first). My Dad used to hand down his machine each time he upgraded.
Was fun learning to code on these babies. Fond memories.

Wow. Hit up some sites over in the States - that is no doubt worth a small fortune, especially given the exchange rate!
