Gumball has not one, not two, but three fragments (*) of the original source assembly/code left on disk!
Here is my writeup about how to (re)discover them, extract them, and view them.

https://github.com/Michaelangel007/apple2_gumball

A _complete_ whole track of source code. Who knew!

(*) Fragments 1 and 3 are assembly, Fragment 2 is a symbol table.

Enjoy!

P.S.
Thanks to qkumba for the gentle reminder to get off my duff. =P

....and Sideways has a deleted file which is the source to its nibble count

Another kind of Easter egg!

Haven't heard of that title. Nice little protection!

Has qkumba, 4am, or antoine (re?)cracked it yet? ;-)

Sideways - I think that Antoine did it already, but I have it here in the to-do pile in any case.

Oops, the question was about Sideways. I cannot find any cracking notes here, so I am pretty sure I have not tried to break it. I own v2 of it, I'll have a look soon,
