How do I use the *.shk files from ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/images/utility/misc/nibble_magazine/ in AppleWin?

Is that all the Nibble disk archives?  I did a couple other games in Nibble before Treasure Dive (Major Mayhem and City Centurian).....they both were on the cover of the magazine.

Thanks for getting those images up there!  I grabbed the entire archive.

I don't know. How many Nibble magazines were released?

The Nibble*.po files are now downloadable from ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/unsorted/

[Frenkel]

Nibble[1988-12].po contains City Centurian and
Nibble[1989-12].po contains Treasure Dive.

I haven't found Major Mayhem yet.

[Frenkel]

I've watched all the Nibble*.po files and I couldn't find Major Mayhem. Looks like it isn't dumped as a rom yet.

[The Romero]

I think Nibble was started in 1980.  Major Mayhem was published in 1987 I believe - December.  

[Frenkel]

Looks like all your games were published in December   .

And I don't have a rom of the 1987-December issue of Nibble Magazine   .

[The Romero]

Yep, they were all published in December because that's the only month where they would print listings that were a little longer so people could play something more fun than the usual at Christmas.

.shk files are "ShrinkIt" archives, the standard archive format for Apple II and IIgs. Open these with ShrinkIt in your emulator.

Wanna know something just insane and weird?  I wrote my game SUBNODULE back in 1984 and then published it in 1987 through Keypunch Software.  They decided to call it SUB HUNT on the box but the game on the disk was unchanged from SUBNODULE.

Well, check this out:

[Pyros]

They repackaged it differently again?

[The Romero]

No, it's amazing that SUBNODULE is actually on eBay right now!  It's probably the first packaged game I had published because before that everything was in magazines.  I think I have only one of these packages in my collection.

Never noticed that subhunt(subnodule) was yours. Loved that game, but didn't get it until later on. picked it up at a garage sale I think in the late 80s.

Really love to buy some of your early games buts its really hard to find anything apple to buy in my area. I only have my PC but if I could find some games they should run via Apple II OS emulator. I think.
