Ask HN: What do do with an Apple IIGS

3 points by alexanderson 8y ago ↗ HN

I inherited an old Apple IIGS and got it running this weekend. It's got all the necessary system disks along with a slew of HyperCard stacks. After reliving my childhood with some old Atari and Accolade games, I'm at a loss what to do with it. Any suggestions?

Good thing you inherited some software with it, and that it works.

I would suggest applying some Google Fu to find a user group that you can trade with.

If you are a Linux user, you can probably use it as a terminal - connected via serial.

I remember reading somewhere[0] that they were used in the early days of Super Nintendo development due to similar chipsets.
