Brute Squad
This staff member appears to be responsible for most of the problems around here.  Used to be in charge of our marketing department. Strangely though, she never seems to be around to accept responsibility. She's not just on the Brute Squad - she is the Brute Squad.


We all have a high level of passion and enthusiasm for CRPG games and bring to the table many years of professional experience in field such as technology, computer graphics, printed artwork, music and business management.


Our Mission at 6502 Workshop
  • Produce a fun game CRPG enthusiasts will enjoy playing
  • Include ideas and features sourced from the Apple II community when possible
  • Develop a modern evolution of the Apple II RPG genre, while exploring how gameplay might have advanced in tile-based RPGs if large scale development had continued on the Apple II platform after the 1980s
  • Create a repository of hard to find technical information on developing Apple II games
  • Determine how many two layer shrubberies with a path down the middle will fit on the Apple II hi-res screen
  • Cut down the mightiest tree in the forest with a herring

  1. This project is incredible guys. Game design is light years ahead of where it was in the 80s and I look forward to a game for the 80s era made using current era game design knowledge! Very exciting.
