Games of yore and Apple II, too Celebration of 20th anniversary of the Apple
machine turns into a chance for game designers to reminisce...
By Steven Kent
Aug. 12, DALLAS...John Romero threw a party for the 20th anniversary of the
Apple II and a game-designer nostalgia-fest broke out. Perhaps it?s not
surprising that the focus of the banter last weekend was more play than the
little computer that could in the education market. The cocktail
party-cum-reunion was, after all, hosted by Romero, founder of ION Storm and
co-creator of Doom, the most popular computer game of all time. And the guest
list though Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple Computer, was the biggest
name read like a who?s who of game design from two decades ago, when many of
them used the venerable Apple II to work on their play creations.

Three of the original online pictures converted to 256 color gif format for
use by Apple II users - also included in the A2.20th.SHK archive.
Enjoy & Cheers,
Tom
