Transferring my first game to the Apple IIe

[coius]

After spending about 3 hours figuring out how to make a ADT Pro boot disk (that also included audio-booting the stupid thing 3x in the process, I have finally gotten to the point where I can transfer my first game.

The game of choice is "Robot Oddessy" by TLC. I played this game in my youth but never fully understood how to play it, till now }

I have experience and knowledge on the upper hand, and for the first time, I am going to sit down and play it and understand the technology and the concepts. Fun game, but frustrating as hell when I was younger and didn't understand simple things like logic (And/Or/Xor/XAND)

Oh, and the really bad thing? 64KB RAM doesn't cut it when transfering 140KB images. Takes LOOOONNGGG Time to do it.

On the other matter, has anyone played this game and beat it?

Oh, got an upgrade for this, except it's been a long time in the making. Somewhere at my friends house (he is gonna look for it) is a RAMFast SCSI card (I think) that I am going to put in this and use. I bought the card a long time ago for my friend to use with this IIgs, but he never got it going, and he still has it. I told him to cough it up tonight, and soon I will have a SCSI card in this. Will a Zip drive work as a 32MB ProDOS volume? or should I haul out like a 265MB SCSI HDD?

Congrats on getting Robot Odyssey transferred back to the Apple II. While trying to find a copy of the game I ran across this page http://www.droidquest.com/ which is a Java version of Robot Odyssey. He also has disk images of Robot Odyssey that can be downloaded. The disk images are for 3 different versions of the game. Check it out.
