I've been meaning to design a shirt that is similar but not quite exactly the same as the Beagle Bros or Polarware disk sleeves. This high-quality graphic captures just that. 

Selecting 12 of the most whimsical floppy disk warnings used during the 80's and 90's this shirt represents that wonderful geeky humor.

• Archon II
• Dogfight
• Mario Bros (2-joystick Mod)
• One on One (Dr. J v. Larry Bird)
• Realm of Impossibility
• Robotron (Mod) - Either 2 players or 1 player using Robotron Mode - left analog for running, and right analog for shooting)
• Warlord
• Blisterball (Paddle Mode)
• Mad Bomber (Paddle Mode)
• Computer Foosball (Paddle Mode)
• Ice Demons (Paddle Mode)
• Pong Reloaded (Paddle Mode)

Hello all, 
 

I've recently stumbled upon an easy way to get Apple II emulation on an iPhone without any need for jailbreaking or using an internet browser based emulator.

1. Head to the AppStore and download PPSSPP (The PlayStation Portable Emulator) 
2. Download PYAE.zip - I found it here - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SrdP8Y6FBFDFNrRgK9ZC_BOmzd1_83A9/view
3. Using the files app, extract PYAE.zip in the PPSSPP folder under PSP -> GAME
4. Launch PPSSPP and launch pyae 
5. Enjoy Apple II on iOS :-) 
   
   

This emulator is quite basic.  It only supports .dsk files, no harddrive, or much else.  Sound and Video works great.  There is a soft keyboard that works fine as well.  Perfect for quick offline gaming! 

If you want something more full featured and you have available internet you can also use https://apple2ts.com/ right from the browser.

Have fun!
