AAh i hate to read this... The asimov absolutely ruled!!, now i just
have to realy get all the other major sites together again, but
rubywands apple II games pages rule, but now it misses a very important
one. I have to check wich major ones i'm missing (any sugg besides:)?

ftp://mirror.apple.asimov.net/images/games/ 

http://www.inwards.com/~fairway/    (wow! nice indead)

ftp://apple2.caltech.edu/pub/apple2/games/ 

ftp://ground.ecn.uiowa.edu/apple2/Collections/AOL/Games/
 
http://www.classicgaming.com/vault/
 
http://www.multimania.com/apple2c/archive/Archive.htm 

ftp://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/apple2/games/ 
 
By the way, and please this is only pasing info, i know a lot of people
hate binaries ng's but i've been getting loads and i mean loads from:

alt.binaries.emulators.misc

Eventually with some help got to know how to up and download from there.
So i've been posting some nice emu' stuff

And the freaky thing is that just two days ago i posted everything i got
from asimov.net (when that one was open). I downloaded only the games,
but every one of them. Conluding into 724 apple II .dsk's wich.... i
posted there and i checked, i can still dl. them from there. Note that
it depends very much which ng provider or something you have to get them
all. in other words, you might visit and nothing, or 30 or as i posted
them in two big rar's split in 10 split in 7 (r.o1 will have 7 headers
of 5000 lines)

And again people who hate binary ng's, and i don't blame them, i hated
them for halve a year, please ignore all this. But as the asimov mirror
just went down and i just posted every apple II game .dsk i got from
there i could'nt resit passing y'all this info.

If anyone at anytime want's to see a repost off them feel free to reply
or  e-mail me.  Vintagegamer speaking here lovin the funky skillo looks
of those apple II games..

Hope to see anothore asimov.mirror.mirror or some... (Then i have to get
the apps as well, just for the collection).

p.s. on my site i dedicatet a page to binary ng's with info and linx
