Never Released (Written in 1989)
Released as Freeware in November, 2005
This was my 8-bit version of the Crown & Anchor game. It
was written using the 64K ProDOS version of Z-Basic from Zedcor, and
should run on any 64K Apple II that can run ProDOS.
Crown & Anchor is a simple dice game that was popular with
members of the British Navy and fishing fleets. To play, just place a
bet on one of the numbers from one to six. Three dice are then rolled.
If one die matches your number, you win even money. If two dice match,
you win double your bet. Three matches pays 3 to 1. The most you can
bet at once is $15,000 (if you have that much). If you can accumulate
$30,000 you 'Break the Bank', and win the game. Press the 'Escape' key
at any prompt to end the game.
