About Total Replay:
Total Replay serves as a frontend for experiencing and playing classic arcade games on the 8-bit Apple ][. Some standout 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 is compatible with any Apple ][ equipped with 64K RAM and Applesoft in ROM. Some games may require 128K, and a joystick may be necessary for certain titles. The system will automatically filter out games that do not work on your specific machine.
To run Total Replay, you’ll need a mass storage device capable of mounting a 32 MB ProDOS hard drive image. This is supported by all major software based emulators. It runs on a number of hardware emulators as well.
For those using actual Apple II series hardware, mounting can be done with devices such as CFFA3000, Floppy Emu, MicroDrive, BOOTI, or similar adapters.
Licensing Information:
Total Replay, developed by 4am, is licensed under the MIT open source license. The original code is accessible on GitHub.
Games and artwork within Total Replay are the property of their respective authors.
