Welcome to the information page for the Virtual Apple ][ site. This is where you will find all of the details about the site, how it came about, where it is going and what is contained here.
All of the games in this archive fit into one of three categories; Freeware, Abandon Ware, or Public Domain. While there are currently over 1400 disk images archived on the web site, we still are adding more all the time..
We are currently in the process of collecting specific program documentation and box cover images as well as any other information about the games. If you would like to contribute items to the database such as game descriptions, soft docs, manuals, hints, articles, or pictures then post them to out support board or contact us, and we'll put them online.
All of the games on the Virtual Apple ][ website are playable offline as well as online. You can download the disk images to your favorite game right from our website, fire up an emulator on your machine and play them right there on your local PC or Mac.

For PC users, we recommend Applewin emulator for local use and for those Mac Users with Intel based machines, you can run the programs on your machine by downloading the disks and Sheepy's Sweet16 Apple IIgs Emulator. For local Apple II emulation on Mac OS X, the best one is Virtual ][ emulator and the individual disks. We recommend these emulators due to the amount of development that has gone into the programs.
| This site is completely spyware free and usage of the emulator is completely free! |
For those platforms which do not run the ActiveGS plugin, the Java based Apple ][ emulator, AppleIIGo, will all the user to play most of the Apple 2 images on our site. Both emulators are under constant upgrade and improvement and we are always looking for ways to improve the user experience.
The Virtual Apple ][ website is a completely volunteer run effort and relies on the generosity of those folks who have contributed time, money and a great deal of effort over the years to make it the website it is today. For those who have contributed to the project already, we thank you.
