Apple

While working for Softape, I created my first games for both Apple and the TRS-80 Model I.



Apple Games

Space Balls
As Aliens marched from side to side (like in space invaders), you bounced your power ball to kill them off. It’s breakout meets space invaders.


Galactic Fighter
First Computer Game to use Real Time game play sounds done in software without any hardware support.

Both the Apple and the TRS-80 use "bit-banging" to create sound. To create sound FX, the game would stop while the sound played.

Galactic Fighter use the time to do bits of the work to create the right time delay between flipping the sound output bit. While the sound was not perfect, it had smooth game play.

This game was an original game. It game play was similar to Galaxian that came out a year later.



Apple Software
