Game Cassette Tape |
![]() In 1982, I'm about age 13. I start to play my own APPLE ][ when tape still widely used. Thanks to BAHCL, he give me many apple floppy disk and several tapes. These two game was rather old and simple, it bring back my long lost memory ... "LOAD" means loading the tape content into memory and run. But at that time, the tape will load and autorun (fascinating! Isn't it?), to break it you must have another tape call "Load Breaker" to read the real address of the tape, and load it into memory. Usually you'll found tapes with "200.2FFR". This is the strongest protection for tapes. When you enter monitor mode by typing "CALL-151" then "200.2FFR" to read the tape, the game will executed automatically, which you have no way to save it, but I've managed to crack it by loading into other addess like "800.8FFR" and decode the content and see the size of the game and it's original starting point. |

Game Floppy Disc |
![]() ![]() Especially this one is from a famous "cheap" shop which charge only HK$3 for a single side. For a period of time it's full of people (only male) squeezing into the narrow passage to wait for copy, I did a few copy from it but for some protected disk I usually go to reliable shop Diskeyland, some really Apple experts there, they have their own copy program for the protection, it's 100% reliable except your floppy full of bad sector. ![]() |
