I Could not tell this would be an Apple IIGS followup video from the title. I'm SO glad! The week before it was such a nice surprise already to watch an episode dedicated to that machine.
And if not, at least get an RGB-to-component transcoder (they're dirt cheap now) and hook the IIGS up to a television set that has YPbPr inputs--those red, green, blue RCA connectors. Looks best on a CRT TV, but even a modern LCD TV will do.
Very nice! I would recommend Rastan on the GS as well. It is a near flawless port of the arcade game and was coded very tight so it runs very well on a IIGS. Also recently someone ported Centipede called BuGS, which also runs great on a stock GS. The thing is the GS really runs too slow for an enjoyable experience. Back in the day I bought an accelerator card which ran at 7MHz, and at that speed, I almost never felt the machine was laggy. I think that’s when I really fell in love with the experience, and my GS was my primary productivity computer until 1998.
The IIgs really paled in performance comparisons with the Amiga. But, it was a great update to the Apple II line of computers and enabled all of the folks who were accustomed to and comfortable with the Apple II ecosystem to enjoy color graphics and sound in an official package released from Apple.
@markteague8889 - The IIGS was vastly underrated, including how it compared against the Amiga. Granted the Amiga ran circles around the GS for animation (what with its co-processors, blitter, sprites and video acceleration; to say nothing of all the GS's video bottlenecks) but the GS itself had advantages over the Amiga. It's GUI and GS/OS were far more elegant and appealing than Workbench, it blew the Amiga out of the water for audio-capabilities and music synthesis, it had slot expansion (which the A500 lacked) and even comparable graphics with even an edge, with up to 256 colors per screen without any CPU assistance/trickery.

David Schroeder, who wrote Crisis Mountain, also wrote the classic Dino Eggs game
Not a big Apple fan, me, but I see the appeal. Love Apple or hate them, they have earned a place in computing history. Good stuff, Aaron!
I played Zany Golf for years as a kid. I could teach you all about it.
zany golf is alot of fun, i played that on the sega genesis
I also played it on the Genesis! The music was awesome. I heard someone play it on piano and guitar.. Sounds awesome!
Please try to find the matching Apple RGB monitor it looks soooo much better than the composite.

On the Hambuger hole. Start quickly clicking the mouse button to make the Hambuger hop up and down. Then time your shot when the Burger is in the air.
Yep. You need to click-spam it first before you take the shot. Also reflect *off* the Tomato sauce bottle.
not an apple fan ....but i do like the 2gs alot!!!
Very nice!

Nice episode….more memories !
