About Total Replay II: Instant Replay:
Total Replay II serves as a frontend for discovering and playing classic sports and board games on the 8-bit Apple ][. Key features include:
- User-friendly interface for searching and browsing all games.
- Screensaver mode with hundreds of screenshots and dozens of self-running demos.
- Removal of in-game protections, including manual lookups, code wheels, etc.
- Integrated game help.
- Cheat mode available for most games.
- Super hi-res box art (requires IIgs).
- All games run directly from ProDOS, eliminating the need for swapping floppies.
System Requirements:
Total Replay II is compatible with any Apple II series computer equipped with 64K RAM and Applesoft in ROM. Some games may require 128K, and a joystick may be necessary for certain titles. The Total Replay II frontend will automatically filter out games that do not work on the specific machine you are running Total Replay II on.
To run Total Replay II, a mass storage device capable of mounting a 32 MB ProDOS hard drive image is needed. This is supported by all major emulators. For those users running Total Replay II on an actual Apple II series computer, mounting of the disk image can be done with devices such as CFFA3000, Floppy Emu, MicroDrive, BOOTI, or similar adapters.
Licensing Information:
Total Replay II is developed by 4am and is licensed under the MIT open source license. The original code is accessible on GitHub.
