Apple ][ Emulator Scene

November 3, 2008by Chris

hello thereIt is no surprise that the majority of Apple II emulators are available for OSX, however there are some great Windows versions which range from the shareware 'OASIS', supporting the Apple II, II , and IIe models to the XGS32 emulator which faithfully emulates the Apple IIGS (the "only Apple IIGS emulator that supports Windows 9x/NT/2000" editors note: XP too). Note that the Apple GS is totally backwards compatible with all legacy Apple II systems.

For the Mac, the Open Source emulator Catakig and the freeware OSXII are popular. For a step up to the Apple IIGS, the shareware emulator bernie ][ the rescue is the leading choice. Finally, there is the original KEGS for OSX.

For Linux users, the KEGS emulator (Kent's Emulated GS) is the best.

Please note that the Apple II operating systems remain under copyright. Questionable copies are available in the wilds of the Internet, however, so be wary of copyright ethics and hungry lawyers.. If you have a copy of the software on a ROM chip (ie on the motherboard of that great Apple II machine collecting dust in your attic) then you may lawfully acquire a copy.
