Very nice. I've been fighting the urge to start an Apple I version, specifically because it's completely stupid.

Not Apple II. Apple I. A 6502 attached to a TV Typewriter. It did have published software, and quite a few of the games were card games. It'd have to be a completely different experience, because there's no way to update the screen aside from printing new characters and scrolling up.

This looks damn near as good as a C64 version could - and pretty spot-on for the mechanics of the real thing. About the only trick left would be to plasma up the background.
