Playing without an Apple II - Using emulators

How to play if you don't have an Apple II
- You have three options. You can use an Apple emulator, you can run an MS-DOS based program, or you can play Eamon as a JAVA applet.
What's an Apple emulator? How do I use it?
- Check out this Apple emulator page with descriptions on how to run Eamon on an emulator.
- For detailed information on emulators, check out Apple II emulator FAQ
- For more support on Apple emulators, check out the newsgroup comp.emulators.apple2
- To download an Apple emulator for PC or MAC, check out http://www.st.rim.or.jp/~gkt/apple2/
Ok, I have an emulator now. How do I play Eamon?
- After you get the emulator up and running, just load an Apple II DSK image.
Where can I get Apple II DSK images of Eamon?
- You can download them from this website. See below for more options.
Whoa! I've never used Applesoft Basic before. What do I do?
- Go to this site for information on Applesoft Basic?
Help! I get the message "THIS DISK HAS NO DOS TO BOOT" or "*** UNABLE TO LOAD PRODOS ***"
- Most of the DSK images have been stripped of DOS. You'll need to boot a boot disk and switch disks in the drive.
- Download a Dos3.3 Boot Disk or a ProDOS boot disk
Can I buy Eamon on floppy disks for my Apple II? Is there anybody that still sells Apple stuff?
- Sure. Send your business to Kula Software in Hawaii.

Where can I get Apple II .dsk images of Eamon?

HTTP:
- You can download almost the entire Eamon library set from this very website. Just go to the download list!
- From this website, you can download each adventure individually or download the entire set in one zip file.
CD Image:
- The most comprehensive source for all things Eamon is the Eamon CD which was compiled by Tom Zuchowski from his extensive archives.
  - Has most known Eamons in an extensive variety of formats.
  - Contains extras such as the SoftDisk Eamons, SwordThrust, KnightQuest, Super Eamon, etc..
  - Is still maintained and occasionally updated by Matthew Clark.
  - The latest version of the Eamon CD can be freely obtained from the download page.
FTP Servers: You can download Eamon from several different FTP servers. However, many of the ftp sites have out-of-date Eamons and are not reliable. Also, because the entire set is available from this website, the ftp servers will no longer be listed.

The following adventures are not currently available as individual downloads because they authors sold them to Softdisk Publishing and they are copyrighted. However, Softdisk granted Tom Zuchowski permission to make them available on his Eamon CD. Images of the Apple II disks can be purchased directly from Softdisk through http://store.syndicomm.com/. It is our hope that in the future Softdisk will grant permission to post these adventures on this website.

I don't want to mess with an emulator. What options do I have?

Frank Black's excellent Eamon Deluxe system has now been upgraded to be compatible with most modern operating systems. Currently works with MS-DOS, Windows (all versions), Mac OS X and Linux. Frank also has a good portion of the Eamon library converted to the Eamon Deluxe system, making it an excellent choice for your non-emulator needs.
John Nelson created an MS-DOS version of Eamon, but he discontinued working on it over 10 years ago.
A few Eamons are available to play online. Try visiting Eamon as a JAVA applet.

What other Eamon-like gaming systems are available?
