Apple Farm

YES! IT IS! ANOTHER APPLE SUPERBOOK. 1984 THIS ONE WAS PUBLISHED. IN JAPAN,

OF COURSE. APPLE FARM IS THE TITLE. THAT'S PRETTY GOOD. BUT THE SUBTITLE -

OUT OF THIS WORLD CLASS! BOOK FOR PEOPLE WHO

LOVES APPLE. THAT'S US!

WE ALL LOVES APPLE. AND

WE DEFINITELY LOVES THE APPLE SUPERBOOKS!



You can imagine we were quite excited when we found this book :) And then again when we realised that it was just as good as it looks. 
 


That's what it is! A Galactic Revolution! A big book of early 80s games and software. Pre-screenshot technology, as you can see, there is some crazy screen-photograph blurring going on. But so much the better! 
 


There must be a hundred games dating from 1980-1984 presented over this books 200 plus pages. Some of our favourite titles including:
Mous Kattack, Tranquility Base, Computer Baseball (quite literal, that one), Pool 1.5 (rush release between Pool and Pool II), Snake Byte, Super Taxman (Pacman ripoff), Hi-Res Soccer (technically not true) and, of course, Drol (very). 
 


1983. Nearly forty years ago and still no one has designed a tank as cool as that one. 
 


There are a lot of choose your own adventure games in the book. That would be the legacy of a Llylgamyn! 
 


The Sticky Bear Basket Bounce. Anyone ever play this? For the kids, by the look of it - but then you would have been (a kid) in 1982 (or more likely unborn). Love the incorporation of the bubble writing font into the limited pixel based visual lexicon. Nice contrast in styles. 
 


Some graphics more basic than BASIC. But all the better for it. 




And that is just art. 

COMMAND: SWIVEL IN CHAIR FOR A BIT!
 


Expect to see this one on t-shirts everywhere every soon. Screen colours are the best! 
 


OK so as it is says above this one really is for the people who loves Apple. We found two copies. Right now that is all the on and offline world has to offer. It's rare! If you want one (or if you must have both) hit the button below fast and be done with it.
