Following in the footsteps of Hexapucchu, The Secret of Anubis is presented as an adventure game inspired by the mechanics of Choose Your Own Adventure books.

The cold had frozen Paris… and my business,when… a letter. It was waiting for me on the desk, lying there like the ultimate reminder that miracles still exist.
Thick paper, the scent of aged leather, a golden seal pressed into wax: for once, it wasn’t a bill! The crest – I knew it. I had seen it once, often, then never again.

The Secret of Anubis is a work by Eric Cubizolle released on Amstrad CPC in September 2025. Brutal Deluxe Software adapted it for the Apple IIgs in September 2025.

The game is available for download at

Hexapucchu, the Lost City of Patchucca, offers an interactive adventure with simple and accessible mechanics, inspired by the famous choose-your-own-adventure books.

The game is based on a succession of screens, each representing a location that you will explore throughout your journey. On the left side, you will discover an illustration of the place you are in. On the right, a short description provides the context of the scene and important elements to observe or remember. Finally, at the bottom of the screen, several actions are suggested.

Hexapucchu is a work by Eric Cubizolle, released on Amstrad CPC in July 2025. Brutal Deluxe Software adapted it for Apple IIgs in August 2025.

I’d just like to send you a quick heads-up, that my T2A2 (“Transputer to Apple II”) interface finally became a real PCB – 6 years after you ran a news-line about the prototype (http://a2central.com/2683/t2a2-apple-ii-transputer-interface/). Well sometimes it just takes a tad bit longer

http://www.geekdot.com/t2a2-for-everyone/

I ran a first initial batch of 20 as I have no idea how big (or small) the interest is, as this is really something, uhm, ‘special’

Brutal Deluxe Software announces the maintenance release of i’m fEDD up, their copy/preservation utility program. Now at version 2.2, the program can export 5.25″ disk bitstreams in a .FDI file. If you own an Apple IIgs, the copy process runs in a single pass. A faster copy means more chance to reliably preserve track sync’ed titles. For easier convenience, the prefix command displays all files and is able to delete unlocked binary files to make room on your destination volume.

Paris, January 6th, 2015 – Brutal Deluxe Sofware releases Merlin 32

Merlin 32 is a multi-pass Cross Assembler running under Windows targeting 8-bit processors in the 6502 series (such as 6502 and 65c02) and the 16 bit 65c816 processor.

It is compatible with Glen Bredon’s Merlin 16+ syntax, including support for Macros, Pre-processor, Logical Expressions, Conditional Operations, Variables, Loops, Local Labels…

It can build fixed position object code or relocatable executables (OMF v2.1) as we can find on 16-bit APPLE IIGS operating systems like ProDOS 16 or GS/OS (S16, EXE, CDA, NDA, FST, PIF, LIBRARY, TOOL…).

Merlin 32 has been successfully used to re-assemble classic Apple IIgs games and utilities such as Rastan, Sensei, Shuffle Puck Cafe, Final Assault, Lemmings, The Tinies, Cogito, Blockade, Convert 3200… without the need to modify the original source files.

Merlin 32 is part of the Brutal Deluxe’s Cross Development Tools Project, a full set of utilities available on Windows (and other) platforms to enable the creation of new Apple IIgs software : 65c816 Assembler, 65c816 Disassembler, 65c816 Simulator, Graphic File Converter, Resource Catcher…
