Shufflepuck Cafe for Apple II
35 years later, the great Shufflepuck Cafe game is, finally, available on the 8 bits Apple II line of computers.

**Download:**
* the Shufflepuck Cafe floppy image
* the game manual
**Requirements:**
* An Apple ][+ or more recent, with 64kB of RAM or more.
* A mouse and MouseCard
* A real Apple II – emulators don’t do the game justice1
* The game is visually more enjoyable on a monochrome screen. This is a design choice.
**More information:**
I have tried to be faithful to the original game, and the implementation is almost complete. The only missing things are the player pusher’s configuration, and the mid-table blocker. I have had great joy developing it, and I hope you will have as much pleasure playing it on your Apple II.
Here is a short teaser of the game, against one of the toughest opponent.

1. Known emulator issues
– **AppleWin** mouse emulation makes the game almost unplayable.
– **Virtual ][** mouse emulation makes the game almost unplayable.
– **MAME** `apple2e` emulation flickers awfully. Use `apple2c` emulation. Mouse emulation feels kind of wrong and the pointer leaving the window makes playing annoying. Use `-nowindow`. ↩︎
