The Kobayashi Alternative: A Star Trek Game for The Apple 2
A few weeks ago I was fishing around my grandparents basement, as one does, and I found my Father’s (and Uncle’s) Apple 2c. The computer had its original monitor and everything! Initially I had no intention of trying to use the computer, or even take it home-I just thought it was cool. However, buried in a box next to the computer I found this:

“The Kobayashi Alternative” (copyright 1985)
I was immediately amazed by this find and asked both my Father and my Uncle if I could have it (as well as the Apple 2c itself) luckily they both said yes! Unlike all the computer game manuals I’ve read this one focuses much more on story building and immersing the reader in said story. It is also LONG as hell. The booklet only spends a few pages on information about the software installation itself and required specs, with virtually nothing about troubleshooting. Which I think is because you just put the floppy disk in and it loads(?). I took pictures of the rest of the booklet if anyone is curious, all of those are below the cut!

If you want to zoom in and read all that-feel free! And if you got to the bottom of this post, I am impressed.
Now, as for the game itself I haven't had as much luck as I thought I would. Turns out keeping a piece of technology in a damp basement for 30+ years is not helpful for its upkeep. I am still in the process of figuring out how to get the Apple 2c to read the floppy disk and I am on limited time as I have to return to school soon. I did find an Apple 2 sub-Reddit so hopefully I can get some help over there.
As a Zoomer, this scene from TVH is how I feel trying to work with 80's technology:
