No its not some kind of sex toy.  If it is, you're in the wrong place.

 

She's a side scrolling shooter. Reminds me of a cross between

the old arcade job scramble and I'm still having a mental blank

of the A2 game that has "Attack the Tank" in it...

 

Fly through a series of caverns, avoiding missiles, blowing said

missiles and radar stations up. With laser or bombs.

 

I've popped it up on TLP. You'll find it in the http pages, ftp or

the BBS itself if you can download from there.

or get it from the horses mouth

There is a game for the Apple II where you attack a tank, but you can also bomb a radar and a few other things. It's called Star Blazer and here is the link to a zip file of it: ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/images/games/action/starblaz.zip

That is the one I was trying to think of.... Thank-you!

I need to log into the bbs and download it purely via my Apple IIe just to see if I can manage it.

Don't know how you went, but over TCP, x-modem seems to be the most reliable... but even that's not what I'd call 90% despite my hopes when putting the file areas back, it remains more effective to FTP or HTTP them, but you're welcome to try. Let us know how you go.

I've not had a chance yet (been too busy with housework to tinker with the A2E) but I was able to transfer several files off Captain's Quarters with both Y-Modem and X-Modem. I'm using a WiModem232 and I think he uses TCPser on a Raspberry Pi.

My BBS setup is a bit more convoluted, on the local network I can convince files to download, but remote users have been super hit and miss between nothing working and z-modem working.
