Apple was just the platform I first experienced most of my favorite
early games on. I was actually an IBM PC kid with crap games envious of
all my friends who had Apples with tons of cool games back in the day
that most PC games were just not very good. There was something more
textural and concrete about the experience of the Apple as a game
platform, but that's just a personal feeling I guess. It was kind of
like the Apple was a more reliable "console" for gaming whereas my PC
always crashed a lot, was easier to hack, and had reliability issues or
whatever, whereas I never experienced those gaming on my friends Apples.
In any event I have a link for you to Wasteland for the PC on a really
great Abandonware website called home of the underdogs:
http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?gameid=2425
:-)
hopefully it doesn't run too fast or weird on your modern pc!
Cheers!

The one I played way back when was on a pc not an apple, though I'm
pretty sure it was published on both platforms.
Most of the games you mentioned I played on the pc(a 386 or MABYE a
screaming 486, heh). Any reason you choose the apple versions, or was
that just the platform that you originally played them on, and you just
want to go with what you know? Better graphics on the apple versions or
something else?

You can run Wasteland (if you're talking about the game from Interplay)
in an Apple ][ emulator. The only way to play old games esp Bards Tale
and Ultima III and Autoduel, Yay! :-P I suggest AppleWin. Check out
this kickass site for LOADS of disc images: http://www.virtualapple.com
And here's the AppleWin emulator site -- SOOO easy to use and soo good:

Is the prechange version available through other methods, like ebay or
something?
Also, does anyone know of an online- nonauction site that specializes in
early software releases. Like if I needed cf 4.5 or Wasteland(need to
track down a copy) or something like that.
Thank you.

DVD XCopy had to remove their ability to "rip" encrypted dvd's.
If you buy it now. you will not be able to copy CSS protected dvd's.
I found this out when I went to check for updates.
