Collection of seven Apple II cassette tape games, highlighted by the unlicensed software "Starwars, P/N A2T0002X" and "Startrek, P/N A2T0002X." This was the first Star Wars game ever released, casting the player as a 'space pilot trainee' who destroys TIE fighters using a first-person heads-up display. The original Star Wars movie had been released only a year earlier, and Apple hoped to capitalize on the Skywalker-mania that gripped the nation. The inclusion of the Star Trek game made this cassette a grand unification of sci-fi fandom. These tapes were manually copied as orders came in, using a rig that fed eight recording tape drives from one master—an innovative example of the 'print on demand' model used by many businesses today.
Additional software cassettes include: "Breakout, P/N A2T0003X / Color Graphics, P/N A2T0003X"; "Biorythm, P/N A2T0009X / Mastermind, P/N A2T0009X"; two copies of "16K Startrek / 16K High-Resolution Graphics Demo"; and "Breakout / Color Demo." Boxed software includes "Lords of Karma" by Avalon Hill/Microcomputer Games and Hellfire Warrior (on a floppy disk) by Epyx/Automated Simulations, both with their original instruction booklets. Also includes a pair of Apple II game paddles. In overall fine condition.
