I've posted a trailer for my Talbot Fantasy 7 game:

https://youtu.be/awXxL-Zjslk

I'm aiming to have it done by Kansasfest but with only two
weeks left not sure how that will go.

The Linux/C version is getting fairly complete, need to work
on porting things over to 6502 assembly.

And yes, many of the sequences in the video are from the Linux
prototype rather than from an actual Apple.

Your game looks cool, Vince.
Will you sell it?

Yeah, looks very cool. Looking at this and Pyramid of Ra, for instance, people are doing stuff I only dreamed was possible when I was growing up and making games for this computer.

I have one comment about the Youtube Video. It's silent at the start, and then the first noise is a full-scale 1 bit BEEP, which is super loud to begin with, but even louder when people who wondered if there was any sound have turned the volume up :)

If you're up to tweaking your trailer, my advice would be to put some of the later music right at the start, to indicate there is sound, and let people set the volume. And turn down the volume of any really loud sounds like that first BRP so that it's comparable with the volume of that music.

No, I'll be giving it away for free. It's more of a tech-demo (and
an excuse for a lot of inside jokes for old friends) though it is
surprising me by turning into a rather complete game engine.

If I do get it in a nice state I might have some fancy disk labels made
up and make a few novelty official-looking copies made, but currently
I don't think it would be worth the trouble of trying to sell the thing.
