Thread: Apple IIe on Wii

US, January 5, 2009 - We all know that the Wii can handle emulation. After all, the entire Virtual Console is built out of emulators for a variety of consoles, such as the NES and Genesis. But early computers are not well represented on the Virtual Console -- at least, not in America. (The Commodore 64 is on the VC in Europe and the MSX is available in Japan.)

The Apple IIe emulator is still early, but functional. Nugroho has a handful of screens on his site, including shots from Epyx's Winter Games in all of its monochrome glory. The emulator is available for download from the site. The Apple IIe, a regular feature in school libraries or computer labs in the mid-eighties, is a great machine with a lot of great games. It would make a fun addition to the Virtual Console line-up for both its legacy and entertainment value.
