Apple ][ Emulation

I was listening to the RetroMacCast this week and they were talking about the old Apple ][, which was the very first computer I ever owned. It got me in the mood of getting in front of one again; however I haven't seen one since sometime in the mid 90's.

Thankfully there is some pretty good emulation software out there.

KEGS (http://kegs.sourceforge.net)

This is the first one I tried but it is a bit more complex to get running, so I quickly abandoned it. However it does work on Windows and Linux as well as OSX.

OSXII (http://apple2.intergalactic.de/intergalactic.de/Software.html)

This one was really easy to setup, however more limited than KEGS. But it was good enough for me.

I got to play around on some really old games, and also try to remember how to write animations for GraFORTH ][. I think I got my fix for another decade or so.
