Here we have a very early Apple II game by the wonder child of Hi-Res graphic programming Bob Bishop. This appeared in early 1978 issues of Byte magazine as a type-in, but you could also buy it on cassette from multiple distributors (as was the usual approach back in the day).

Here is the cassette loaded version from Powersoft. The early days of the microcomputer saw cassette tapes as the primary method of storage and distribution. It's fun to look back at the cryptic commands used to load these things, and the challenge of tape corruption and setting a proper volume for loading, etc. It's always a bit of a trick to get it working, but hope you enjoy.
