I haven't spent time with the Apple ][ emulator lately, but if you find me a good quality .wav sample of the Apple floppy 'whirr' and 'seek-stutter' sound to play during disk access, I'll get right on it!

Before the Apple ][s dominated the educational market, some Minnesota schools had CBM PETs
If I recall correctly, 'Oregon Trail' took about 5 minutes to load from the cassette. Some of my greatest memories from that time were getting excused from 5th grade math to program on the PET. Only much later did I learn that the BASIC on those was written by ... Bill Gates.
...at home connected to the Cyber mainframe over 300 baud modems -- which let them play online multiplayer games like Moria dungeon crawl and the awesome galactic conquest game called Empire.
Anyway back on-topic. The Apple ][ emulator won't be 'hildonised'. It has an in-game disk image loader menu - You can load disk images with the +/- keys.

how the heck are you playing netrek? I'm dying now!!!
So I remember playing an old game back when I was in elementary school (early 90s) on an Apple II. You were in a mansion of some sort, and had to figure out a ton of riddles in order to move on. At the very end, I remember there being 3 chests and if you chose the wrong one, it'd send you back down a few floors in order to repeat parts of the game.
If anyone has any idea what this might have been I'd love to know, because it's been driving me crazy.
