Hi all,
I have just acquired an Apple //e (read all about it in Conquests) and when I go to play some of the games, they load up but don't go any further. I tried Carmen Sandiego this morning (my first time with a computer was a //e in Grade 2 when I played this very game on a Green Phosphor screen), which loads up fine, but when I exit the demo to start a game by pressing any button, the Unidisk drive turns off and the screen stays blank.
Is this a problem with the software, considering it's age? I don't think it is hardware because it loads up every time, with no hiccups. It is only when I want to continue into the game that it seems to have an issue. I played an F1 game last night, and it played fine. There is a lot less complexity to the game in comparison to Carmen, but it highlights that you can actually play a game on the machine.
Help would be appreciated!
