Temple of Apshai and other C64 games...

I finally got my new iMac somewhat dialed in so today I started looking through all the disk images I have for the Commodore 64 emulator and found this little gem -- Temple of Apshai. I do remember spending a lot of time playing this way, way back in the day. It is not joystick driven (I tested out the joystick compatability with another old favorite, River Raid!) so I had to fumble around with the keys to figure out what I was doing. I did manage to kill the giant mosquito in this room. I need to find the directions somewhere that outlines what key does what -- that might be challenging seeing as this game is well over 20 years old. I'm having fun just launching various games and suddenly remembering the screens and music associated with them. When I launched "Jumpman" I remembered the crazy font used in the cut scenes. I guess nostalgia sometimes has an upside, too.
