WELCOME! It's hard to believe that more than thirty years after the Apple II came on the scene, there are still enthusiasts gathering the bits and pieces that still linger from the 1980's. But you're here for a reason, to recapture some of the nostalgia, fun and affection that permeated those years of discovery and creativity. And we're here to gladly help you do it.

Nibble was founded in 1980 by Mike Harvey (he personally wrote every program and article in the first four issues) and it was published for more than twelve years. During that time, it helped many readers discover the magic and excitement of the first significant personal computer -- the Apple II. This site explores the history, and the products offered here can bring the entire collection to your library.

WHAT'S NEW

* I thought it would be fun to add a page that showcases my computer graphics/art -- Mike's Art.  In the last year or so of publication, I was producing Nibble virtually single-handedly, including the cover art.  At that time, it was pretty primitive and things have certainly changed.  Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy some of the landscape and space art that I'm doing now for sheer enjoyment.

* Thanks to Sam Stoddard, we now have disk images with versions 1.0 and 2.0 of Key Perfect.  We already had version 5.0.  These three versions are on the Nibble Disks page.

* We've received a great collection of 20 new Nibble Programs from Sam Stoddard.  They are listed as the Stoddard Collection and are on the Nibble Disks page. They include:

Sam also sent the side 2 disk for Apple Secrets which is now posted on the disks page.  In addition are three new downloadable disks from Sam Stoddard, and they contain some of our most ambitious and best games and construction sets.  They're on the Nibble Disks page and they include:  The Nibbler, Clam Bake, Movie Construction Set, Adventure Construction Set, and the May 1986 disk.

HIGHLIGHTS

We have an extensive interview with Mike Harvey that was conducted by the Apple II journal, Juiced.GS, in September 2006. You'll find some of the insights about Nibble's origins are interesting reading.

In addition, in the Nibble Editorials pages, we've added some of the more popular "business models" that Mike wrote about in his Editorials through the years.  The principles still apply... 25 years later!  Check them out.

In the Nibble, Nibble Mac, Nibble Books and PC Hands On sections, you'll discover the fruits of many months of effort to reproduce Nibble and Nibble Mac books and magazines on CD and DVD. 

Here are some other highlights:

• 16 volume Nibble Books Library containing all the books that were published from 1980 through 1991... Apple Secrets... Games... Money Management... Programming Tools... they're all there!
   
• (1980-1992) Nibble Programs Index) in an Excel spreadsheet format. So you download the file and look up specific articles and authors. The Nibble Index is courtesy of Stavros Karatsoridis, and you can get it by clicking the "(1980-1992 Nibble Programs Index" above.
   
• All the Hypercard stacks from Hypertalking Volume II.  These were the major stacks that we published in Nibble Mac over the four years it was published.
   
• MindCraft Assembler and Macrosoft User Manuals... Both of these are now available with .DSK images of the programs. See  Assmblr/Macrosoft .
   
• A number of Nibble issues have downloadable Nibble Disks  .DSK images on this site. They contain the Apple II Program Disks that accompanied issues in 1982 and 1987-1992 as well as a number of Nibble books. They can be run using an Apple II emulator that is also downloadable here.

Let me also call  your attention to the Apple II Links page, where NBasic provides a great tool for reliving some of the old nostalgia of converting Nibble programs that will run under Windows.

So we hope you enjoy the site... the trip back into the excitement of the 80s... and the reminiscence of those days of discovery and creativity.
