* Designed with modern youth in mind, with special attention given to aesthetics and usability. * Play both classic and modern styled, retro-inspired games with new friends on-line or over your local network. * Write new programs or enhance classic ones with parallel-tasking control programs, and modern functions and commands such as 3D graphics modes (such as vectors n Logo and Applesoft voxel arrays) and camera movement.

* Learn to code in pioneering educational languages ( Applesoft BASIC, Apple Logo II, 6502 Assembler) with features such as code editors and a reverse-debugger. We believe that fostering a good understanding of the roots of modern technology is critical to the development of our future IT professionals, and microM8 is intended to (eventually) do just that: * Discover a wealth of Apple II software (in DSK, D13, PO, DO, Applesauce WOZ, NIB, 2MG, and HDV formats) in an easy-to-navigate environment. Also, microM8 is free! The next generation of emulators, microM8 hopes to encourage learning and creativity by eliminating barriers present in traditional emulators, and by providing incentives for our users to collaborate and code. There are builds for Windows, macOS (Apple Macintosh) and Linux. Supported models are the 48k Apple II, the 64k Apple II+ and the unenhanced and enhanced 128k Apple IIe with Mockingboard, Serial, Printer, Mouse, Disk II, SmartPort and CP/M cards. MicroM8 not only provides solid emulation of Steve Wozniak’s masterpiece 8-bit Apple II series computers, but also redefines retro-computing with ‘upcycling’ features such as 3D and HD graphics rendering, user-movable camera views, PVR-style memory state recording with “live rewind” (the only publicly-available Apple II emulator that can do this!), an integrated cloud-based disk library, Apple compatible BASIC and LOGO interpreters re-written in native Go which provide additional video modes (including 3D modes), functions and user-interface enhancements, local network and Internet-based screen sharing, and more! Update: microM8 now has experimental GUI frontends for Windows, macOS and Linux.
