Well, I haven't heard about what Dan's been up to nowadays, but.....another one
of Broderbund's previous blockbuster programmers HAS been busting his hump for a
while on the NUMBER 2 RPG game of 1995 (voted by GamePro magazine)! The name is
Doug Smith and the game is The Secret of Evermore (SNES). What did Doug do for
Broderbund??? Well, he ONLY CREATED LODE RUNNER!!!! Sierra just brought Lode
Runner back into the light recently, since they had it updated for the PC.
Whew. That tired me out. But i have more. If anyone here is an old Apple II
game fanatic, i'd love to trade email with ya. Especially if you have any juicy
info on Where Are They Now?

I have an incredible amount of information to share regarding the whereabouts of
several Apple II legends…..and also write about the amazing Apple II Reunion
that I had back in 1998 in Dallas at my company Ion Storm. I have 6 hours of
videotaped interviews with Nasir, Bill Budge, Warren Robinnett, etc.. I also
have an audio cassette with interviews of Dan Gorlin, Joel Berez and others. I
need to get this stuff in MPG and MP3 form…. Hopefully in the next few months
I'll be doing that.

010- Are there any Apple II games which play music using
'Old Apple II' sound while action is happening?
Try Microwave by Jim Nitchals and Jay Zimmerman. Jim worked on sound
drivers with Steve Hales (primarily for the Mac) under the company name
Halestorm. The company and its technology was later sold to Thomas Dolby's
Headspace.
Another game that plays music through the speaker while your character
moves is Dig Dug.
In both games the sound is a bit on the choppy side.
