8-bit Educational on 3.5" Disk
This section archives 8-bit Apple II educational programs on 3.5" disk, which is the largest category for this format, due to continued strength of educational sales even as the Apple II was declining in general popularity. The 3.5" disk format offers benefits over 5.25" disks by completely eliminating or minimising disk swapping (especially important to retain the attention span of kids), faster disk access, newer versions with bug fixes are often present and easier access to the physical media, with 5.25" disks being harder to find. The listing below is definitely not complete, but I will include as many titles as possible to help ensure disk images come in for popular or important titles for which no disk archives currently exist here or on Asimov.
The Apple IIc+ Software Directory is a collated list put together by Apple around the same time as the release of the last 8-bit Apple II model. It includes a comprehensive listing of software titles, although I'm sure errors crept in (Police Quest II for the Apple II? Can anyone confirm Sierra released their 8-bit adventure games on 3.5" disk?) and the list of course doesn't include titles released after the directory was put together. It's an interesting guide, however. If you have any of the titles listed that aren't included in this archive, please make disk images and scans of all available material, and submit them to the site so these rare titles aren't lost forever.
