This morning VH1 Game Break had a post about a game called I.O. Silver for the Apple IIe. It sounded familiar so I decided to dig into the Apple IIe rom archive and see if it was in there. Sure enough it was. The game was published in December of 1984 by Beagle Bros and is considered one of the finest Apple IIe games ever to be released.

The game can be played using an Apple IIe emulator known as AppleWin.

Anyone, who knows me knows I’m a rom junky. And because of that I’ve recently become involved with TOSEC. For those that don’t know, TOSEC is a huge rom naming project. Actually, it’s become more then a naming project with the team releasing TIM (TOSEC Information Management) a while back. TIM is an all encompassing rom set tool. Used to rename and audit your sets TIM takes a large part of the troubles of dealing with large rom sets. And I do mean large – the number of systems covered by TOSEC/TIM is incredible.

The nice thing about TIM is it’s open source so anyone can work on it. I was checking out the File Information part of the program the other day and I noticed it didn’t actually do anything. To make a long story short I sort of volunteered to take a look at some bugs in the code to see if I could fix them. I’ve managed to track down a couple so far (look here for info) so now I’m going to shift focus over to the File Info part of TIM. We’ll see if I can get something working…
