Fun fact, this game was made closer to the beginning of World War II than to today.

Yes the 90s game is obviously more famous
Nick Austinredhat421@infosec.exchangeJul 4, 2026, 2:00 AM@thomasfuchs Resorting to shooting Nazis just because they're committing a genocide and invading Europe? So much for the tolerant left! /s
This timeline is so insane.
ClickyMcTickerClickyMcTicker@hachyderm.ioJul 4, 2026, 2:37 AM@thomasfuchs In other words, this game was made closer to the time America fought Nazi ideals than the time America promoted Nazi ideals.
Doug Levindouglevin@infosec.exchangeJul 4, 2026, 2:58 AM@thomasfuchs have such fond memories of this game!

Jul 4, 2026, 4:56 AM@thomasfuchs I still have a working Apple ][c in my closet, but it's been a couple decades since I've pulled it out. My floppies still worked last time though!
Meanwhile, I have a really nice web-based emulator (based on the jse code) where I spent a lot of time on the css to render a full ][e case and monitor, plus a number of floppy images. I started that project while searching for the original applesoft basic Star Wars -- took a bit but I finally found the code.
Jul 4, 2026, 5:02 AM@thomasfuchs Fun fact, USA wasn't anti-nazi, that was just the best way to become the dictator of the whole world.
