There is a certain rustic beauty in hand-drawn video game notes that I will never cease to enjoy. Case in point: this map\/reference key created by family friend Chris when he was a kid in the 1980s. I’m not quite sure what game it was for (other than “Golf”), but it was likely a game for the Apple IIc, as I found it among related Apple IIc ephemera when I acquired his collection<\/a> some years ago.<\/del><\/p>\n

For more hand-drawn video game goodness, check out this VC&G<\/em> post about my friend’s Deadly Towers maps<\/a> from 2006.<\/p>\n

[ Update: 06\/03\/2013<\/strong><\/em> – I was just talking to my brother, and he thinks that either he drew this alone or I wrote the letters and he drew the numbers.
