Was playing a bit of Stunt Car Racer for the Amiga this week, from 1989, and wondered how far back people are going!

There was a Star Wars text adventure game on the Apple II released in 1979 that I used to play. I've been searching for the code from that game for a long time I finally found it again just this month. Part way through my efforts to convert it to javascript I realized I hadn't bothered looking for an actual emulator for Applesoft Basic... Sure enough, they exist (jsbasic on github), so I now have that running on my server. Yay, good memories!
