There are three of A2 games that I can't find anywhere. My memory of them is quite fuzzy so I'll try to do my best:

1 - the first one looks like a clone of Star Wars (I think it's called "something wars"). It basically has 4 or 5 "missions" to accomplish, all inspired from Star Wars.
At the start of the game you can choose which "mission" to go to, and when you are done, something (the Death Star?) explodes and a little ship (Darth Vader?) escapes... (then everything restarts). One of the missions was to shoot at the legs of an AT-Walker. I don't remember the other ones...

2 - the second one was something with a couple of "space eyes". It looked like space invaders, except that the layout is left-right instead from top-down. I'm not sure but I think there were two fases to the game. The first is to get past a series of aliens to land on a planet. Then you have to do some stuff in the planet before coming back.
The "space eyes" part comes that when you lose, there are a couple of eyes that appear in the screen, looking left and right, kind of like scorning your pitiful playing.

3 - and finally the third one is a shmup. There are 5 missions to accomplish, and you have a small fighter/bomber ship to do everything. As far as I recall there are no bosses, but you have fuel and must accomplish the objective before running dry. One of these objects was "Destroy the ICBM", and another was destroying a tank.
The play scrolls from right to left.


Uhm... I hope it's enough to remind what they are... it would be nice to play these again. :-)

PS (since we are talking about A2): Has anybody succeeded in running a game called "Millionware"? It's a kind of wheel of fortune thing, but all disk images I have found reboot before the game starts. Maybe it's an emulator problem?

Not sure about the first two, but the third is Star Blazer. Such a great game. I have the .dsk of it if you can't find it elsewhere.

You are right, it's Star Blazer. I found it on a mirror of the Asimov FTP (the main seems to be down...).
Thanks a lot!

I'm not sure but the name may be "clone wars" or "galaxy wars". Anybody remembers anything like that? :)

I haven't found this one yet. Maybe it was part of a multi-game disk...

Now that I think about it, it could be "Star Clones" There's four missions to play: shooting at marching storm troopers, flying the millenium falcon through asteroids, shooting at-ats and jumping Luke's speeder over pods. That might be the one you are describing.

Yes, that could be it.

I found the game in a SHK archive... but I don't know how to use it :-/

The SHK is a shrinkit compressed file, I could extract it in WinXP, but then I have a disk image of 800k that AppleWin refuses to open.

I know the image is some kind of high-density ProDOS disk... Do I have to open that on a GS emulator? (xgs) Or is there an AppleII emulator that supports the file format ?
