The Apple Tapes: Introductory Programs for the Apple II plus

## Description

A collection of software for the Apple II+ straight from the manufacturer,
this compilation is primarily noteworthy for including LITTLE BRICK OUT, an
AppleSoft BASIC port of Steve Wozniak’s earlier Integer BASIC conversion of
his own uncredited Atari arcade smash hit Breakout, implementation of which
drove the Apple II (and hence, its competitors like the IBM PC) to have color
and sound capabilities.

This particular flavour of the bounce-balls-off-paddles-to-smash-bricks game
plays horizontally rather than vertically, and permits a great deal of user
customization, from the colour scheme to the size of the paddle.

The comp also includes the _PENNY ARCADE_ collection of Pong-variant (bump the
ball into your opponent’s goal) minigames with the following playfields:
Bumper Pool, Hockey, Scramble and Tennis. Also there is _LEMONADE_ , an early
implementation of the Lemonade Stand sales simulation.

Other software on the compilation includes such exciting demonstration and
application programs as _COLOR DEMOSOFT_ , _HOPALONG CASSIDY_ , _PHONE LIST_ ,
_BRIAN’S THEME_ , and _RENUMBER/APPEND_ , as well as _ALIGNMENT TEST TONE_ \–
which is not a program at all, but, as suggested, a useful noise for hardware
calibration.
