Not mine ad by any means, but i thought to put it here as it's not very common to have newly released games for Apple ][-serie in 2013.

5€ + 4€ shipping (international version). 75pcs available.

The Story behind Zephyr

Zephyr was written by Richard Soberka in 1987. It had to be released by Froggy Software for Christmas 1987 but the company, owned by Jean-Louis Le Breton, closed its doors at the same time. And the finished game remained unreleased until 2013!
Brutal Deluxe Software is proud to make it available with the agreement (blessing ;-) ) of Richard and Jean-Louis.

Richard is a well-known hacker and programmer of the French Apple II scene. Jean-Louis is the author of the first Apple II adventure games in French and has released more than ten games through Froggy Software.

The package (75 copies left)

Now, get one of the 75 copies made available to you. Purchase it and you will get a double-sided floppy disk (French and US versions), a sticker, a manual, all within a zip lock bag. A real vintage Apple II product!

The game runs on Apple //c, //e, IIgs ROM 01 and ROM 3 with at least 128K. As a software from 1987, it may not run on your Apple IIgs ROM 3 configuration.

Does anybody know if there will ever be any more?

I've been observing this thread, and just now decided (albeit a bit too late, it appears) that it would be a neat thing to have (and since I have a IIe, I can actually use it!).

Plus, with so few of them, it's sure to be quite a collectable in the not too distant future.

I got mine, number 10 (no, they are not numbered per say, just listed at their webpage in order of shipping). They were one per customer only.

I don't think there will be more. Let's however hope, they find more games/software to release in physical disk format.

I just got my copy in the mail today, it was a total impulse buy haha. I'm glad I did it though, I'm surprised how quickly it sold out.

I did the same thing. I like to support vendors any way I can... sometimes I help with testing, sometimes with development. Sometimes it's just opening my wallet. What goes around, comes around...
