old apple IIe game i'm looking for...

orijinal · Nov 13, 2005, 10:01 PM

ok, we all know the games on those old green screen mac's, number muchers and oregon trail, etc, i know you all love these i did too.

i remember this one game that came up in a nostalgic talk with friends, and we couldn't put a name to it.

the concept of the game was growing plants, like i remember you had to grow a watermelon plant and alter the light variables and water variables... and let them grow....

argh, if anyone knows this game or has screenshots... please reply! i know you know what i'm talking about.

gwuMACaddict · Nov 14, 2005, 07:19 AM

ARGH! i totally know what you're talking about...

but i have no idea what the name of it is...

my favorite ][e/IIe (i never know which name is correct) was Resilon- the game where the stuff fell and bounced around the screen, you were the tank that had to shoot it.

Lord Blackadder · Nov 14, 2005, 07:32 AM

Shoot, I'm also drawing a blank on that one - I remember playing it too.

My favorite IIe game was Arctic Fox. A 3D tank sim, very awesome.

I loved Oregon Trail... and what was the game that you were a fish, and you had to make a choice of what fish to eat, and there were otters, and bigger fish and fishermen... that game was fun...

EDIT: Its Odell Lake

don't think it was sim farm.

it was really more educational than anything. i'll always remember the whole 'variables' thing

gammamonk · Nov 18, 2005, 03:17 AM

Did anybody play "Think Quick?" That was awesome too. That was on my IIgs tho, color and whatnot.

Benjamin · Nov 18, 2005, 04:08 AM

Anyone got any good kids games for free download?

You know, safe cool stuff for my 7 year old boy?

Toreador93 · Nov 18, 2005, 09:15 PM

I loved the Apple IIe! My grandma brought one home from the school she worked at. I use to play Oregon Trail, Number Munchers, Lemonade Stand, and Odell Lake.

Anyway, I think I know what you're talking about, but I have no idea what it's called.

There was another game I use to play of which I don't remember the name. It was one or two player, and had little robots that went across a platform, and then lowered to another platform. I don't recall what allowed you to move the certain number of spaces, though.

tpjunkie · Nov 18, 2005, 09:24 PM

anyone remember space quarks? played that one all the time. Also "Lemonade Stand" too.

MongoTheGeek · Nov 18, 2005, 10:33 PM

Loved Autoduel as well.

My all time favorite was Telengard.

The old infocom games were great as well.

Leather Godesses of Phobos was hilarious and Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy got me my first crush.

Kobushi · Nov 19, 2005, 02:49 AM

I still have my old apple and a bunch of games for it. I don't remember ever playing the one you mention, though.

I still dig on Snooper Troopers.

ghrark · Jan 19, 2010, 08:21 PM

now i don't remember every single game i played on the apple 2e but i do remember a few.

Toreador93, i believe the game you are referring to is ChipWits. im not sure where to download it but that is the game i think you are referring to.

but the growing game is eluding me as of yet...

I think you probably mean www.virtualapple.org

There's also Wikipedia's List of Apple II Games.

Lemonade Stand?!? Growing educational plants?!? Number Munchers?!?

Good grief. Didn't you guys play any real games??

On our school Apple IIe computers we used to play proper classics like:

Lode Runner
Castle Wofenstein
Beyond Castle Wolfenstein
Drol
Dino Eggs
Hard Hat Mack
Karateka
Super Bunny

and more.

cOOldOOd · Jul 23, 2010, 04:11 AM

It's now 2010 and I just saw this and I too do not know the name of that game you are describing. Spent so much time playing it. Did anyone find out???

Giorgiousx · Feb 24, 2013, 07:38 AM

Lunar Greenhouse. One of my favs as a kid growing up in the early 90s...along with Odell Lake.

Cheers!
