The author of Zephyr, Pleins Gaz and other titles that have been recently re-issues, Richard Sorbeka, has announced that he is releasing a number of his games on his personal website. According to his recent posting in the Apple II Enthusiasts group, Richard says: As a former developer and an Apple enthusiast, I’d like to share one of my creations for the Apple II.
I’ve just uploaded my action game called Pleins Gaz (which means Full Throttle in English). It’s a fast-paced arcade game featuring motorcycle obstacle racing and shooting, which I originally wrote back in 1986. Pleins Gaz was distributed on diskette by Froggy Software, sold at all Apple retailers… but only in France!
As a result, I don’t think it was known outside of France at the time… so why not share it 38 years later! You can download Pleins Gaz 1.0 from my personal page dedicated to my creations https://www.soberka.com/games/#pleins-gaz
(scroll down, under the screen caputures) The ZIP archive contains the disk image (.DSK) created from the original 1986 commercial diskette. Today, Pleins Gaz works on all Apple II emulators. Enjoy!
P.S.: By the way, if you have a Mac, try one of my most complete creations: Captain Bumper 2.0 for Mac.
A two-level demo version is available for download on my dedicated website: https://www.macrun.com All the best Richard

Rebecca Heineman, a brilliant and accomplished programmer and video game creator, passed away today after an unexpected battle with cancer. She shared her battle on Bluesky, where she highlighted some of her many achievements, “First video game champion (1980 Atari 2600 Space Invaders National Champion). Created Bard’s Tale III: The Thief Of Fate & Dragon Wars.” I’d like to share…
Release 5 fixes multiple bugs, and brings the game closer to the original. There are now five dwarves, as in the original, and you can’t just teleport out of tight spots. Of course, the game still rocks on 8-bit hardware.
