replies: text: No, it shouldn't.  List are a very useful tool for creating wikilinks for articles that have yet to be created.  Categories can't do this—they only list articles which have been created.  But it belongs to the category, so that helps. :-) — Frecklefoot | Talk 20:30, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: ''Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders''

message: Many games were single file games that came on Dos 3.3 disks.  Some came/worked on prodos.  I'd like to make a designation between file games and disk games.  I just wanted to come to a consensus on this.
Also, right now we're designating some games as "ports".  I don't think we need to tag every game which was ported, we should just indicate in the opening paragraph that some games were ported, while others evoved to other platforms, and some are unique/exclusive to the Apple II --PZ 16:16, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Is there any rationale behind the selection of games on this list? When I have some time I'll add more games to it. [Duncan, 4/5/06]
:Who ever claimed it was complete?  It just has games users have added to the list.  Please do add to the list.  BTW, the correct way to sign your name is with 3 or 4 tildes (~~~ or ~~~~). — Frecklefoot | Talk 14:01, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I added another one, my all-time favourite: XONIX. It's more commonly known on other platforms as "qix", and still popular nowadays in modern remakes. Unfortunately it's impossible to find it as a .dsk image anywhere. If anybody has some information, it would be highly appreciated. 178.73.208.223 (talk) 13:31, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

message: I've addded a few, but I don't konw if they're ports or not. Feel free to check, anybody.

thread_title: ''Freedom!''

message: Anyone else think it's time to turn this list into a sortable table like this or this? The first would let users sort by year, which would be great.  But the second would let the users jump to a certain section, something that couldn't be done with the first.  Too bad we can't do both.  Thoughts? — Frεcklεfσσt | Talk 17:05, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Sortable table?

message: I used to play a game where a "dealer" was wearing a cap and smoking a cigar. I don't remember if it was a spelling game, a math game, or a game you could switch back and forth; I played several in the same period of time. One of the quotes from the game I remember most was when an answer was not correct, the word bubble would pop up with "Close, but no cigar!" I believe it was a game made by Random House, it was definitely on the Apple IIe, and I was able to play it in color, not just green screen, or B/W. I have tried to search for it, but cannot find it. Does this ring any bells for anyone? TheMagician420 (talk) 20:19, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Educational Game - Cannot Remember What It Was Called 

message: Recently I'm noticing several Apple IIGS-specific titles appearing on this list (e.g. Arkanoid II, Alien Mind, Bubble Ghost, Manhunter: New York, Zany Golf, etc). I suggest we remove them as they're already listed in the article List of Apple IIGS Games. I've actual made it a point to remove any 8-bit Apple II games that appear over on that article in order to keep these two lists separate. Of course any games written for both platforms we'd leave, as they were two entirely different versions (e.g. Hardball, Silent Service, Marble Madness, Winter Games, Arkanoid 1, etc).
Granted the Apple IIGS is part of the Apple II line, and by that logic its games titles could be classified as "Apple II games", but in reality the machine and its games were more akin to the Amiga and Atari ST when compared to their 8-bit counter parts: the Commodore 64 and Atari 800. At any rate, I thought I'd open this to discussion before removing IIGS titles from this list. It doesn't necessarily hurt having them stay but has the potential to cause confusion with the wrongful thinking the GS had little difference from the II, II+, IIe, IIc and IIc+. --Apple2gs (talk) 02:00, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I noticed the addition of direct links to books hosted on personal web sites.  To avoid violating copyright, it would be best to use  and to include the ISBN, etc, instead.  If a book's copyright is understood to have expired, then a copy can likely be found on a more specialized archive site (including archive.org)...  Thanks,  —PaleoNeonate – 23:16, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

message: I am currently working on a list because I want to show a manageable amount of titles to our museum visitors. Now I found this list: https://github.com/a2-4am/4cade/blob/main/res/GAMES.CONF
It contains 460 games but not much info. But we could use this as a basis for growing the wikipedia list. Should I add everything in there? --Thunderbolt (talk) 17:51, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  What about sourcing the list from Total Replay? 

message: I am currently working on a list because I want to show a manageable amount of titles to our museum visitors.
For this use I would like to collect some more data: 
* Model/Hardware - Apple II, IIe, IIgs etc
* Media/Source - where to find, eg Total Replay
* Quality - How much fun to play?
* Type of game - Adventure, arcade etc
* Input - input options like joystick, paddles, mouse, keyboard and which keys if not documented
