Zara, who did nothing wrong, was just wondering if she could have a treat, on account of her being cute and having done nothing wrong.

Thinking, as I often do, about Stephen Hawking's voice, which began as a hardware synthesizer card connected to an Apple II and ended up as a software emulated version of that same card because he rebuffed all well-intentioned upgrades for 30 years because it was his voice.

Reminder NOT to buy anything from apple-2-online-store in eBay, who just listed a large number of "original" disks. I have caught them red-handed in the past selling cracked copies as originals. I have no way of confirming if these new disks are original or not.

As there is some interest in the game itself, here are some screenshots from "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai: Across the 8th Dimension" for Apple II, ©1985 Adventure International. The company had many successful releases on a number of platforms and had moved heavily into licensing deals with major films including Marvel. They went bankrupt the next year.

Me at 20: Why would that famous tech luminary retire early to go make art? Tech is great, I love programming, I can't believe I get paid for it.

You will not believe the sound this 1985 Apple II educational software makes after animating the sperm uniting with the egg.
