The FTA were a huge influence and I am amazed I can take these games everywhere I go on my iPhone!!! If only I could go back in time and show myself as a child that those amazing demos could be put into your pocket :) ### 5/5 — So many Memories.. *2011-02-25* Yes! Yes! YES!!!! I was a huge fan of the FTA back in the day. They were like my heroes. Downloading this right now. I hope Brutal Deluxe, Ninjaforce and the French United Crackers Klan get get their stuff on the phone too. Apple II Forever! ### 5/5 — Le IOS App Ki Tue *2011-02-25* Salut les iPads with another giga smooth scrolling. If I didn't own an iPad already, I'd buy one to run this app. ### 5/5 — AWESOME *2011-02-24* Great blast from the past for the most fun computer Apple ever released, by one of the most fun software developers for that platform. Those were the days *nodding head to Modulae music/ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Am i missing something ? *2025-09-18* I can't play the games, where's the keyboard ? ### 3/5 — Awesome *2011-02-25* This is a pretty friggin' great trip down memory lane. FTA on the IIGS was absolutely legendary and they dominated the demo scene. I have all of this music ingrained deep within my brain. Only three stars because this is pretty much unwatchable on my 3G. It's just too slow. Music skips, animation is jerky. I suspect those of you with 3GSs and 4s will fare better. ### 4/5 — Never had one *2011-02-26, version 1.20* Impressive demos, running at 2 ish mhz, amazing! More demos please? ### 4/5 — NoiseTracker GS Please!! *2011-02-25* This made my day. It's not perfect, but it's a great trip back memory lane into my early years on a ][gs. That said, I'd give it 100 stars if it gets NoiseTracker GS and the ability to play old song mods made on a gs transferred into it. As there currently exists no software to convert the old NTGS mods for any modern mod player, having the actual software on my iPad would be a wonderful addition. Either way though... this is a great start... and I hope to see more soon! ### 4/5 — The Apple IIGS Lives on iOS! *2011-02-25, version 1.20* The Apple IIGS was the computer I grew up and never since have I had as much fun with computers as I did with that first love. The FTA wrote some of the most impressive demos for the IIGS and it's sure fun having them in your pocket. I hope the app's ability broadens in the future to run even more IIGS software. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2013-02-23* FTA is awesome. Love the emulator, great to play these wonderful demos on the iPhone. Great memories and still an inspiration for tight coding on limited hardware. ### 5/5 — Wow. IIGS on my ipad *2012-08-10, version 1.22* This is an excellent effort by the FTA (as usual). It is great to see those fabulous demos and remember the good old days. Please keep the updates coming. ### 5/5 — AWESOME APP *2011-12-24* WOW THIS APP IS AMAZING I love running old Apple 2 Games and System 6 It is AWESOME get it, PLUS its FREE!!!!!!!!! Gotta love iPhone explorer and list.activegsxml ### 5/5 — Faithful reproduction of the good old days *2011-06-12* Sure brings back memories ### 5/5 — very good! *2011-05-26* very good old apple emulator!!! special thanks!! but joystick circle is too large to control in ipad. pleas make this circle small size.... ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — IIGS on a 3GS *2011-03-04, version 1.20* Awesome work guys! But where's Noise Tracker? I hope to see more ActiveGS content on the AppStore in the future. ### 5/5 — Stellar! *2011-03-02* Oh, does thus bring back some memories. Very well done! ### 5/5 — A2FE *2011-03-01, version 1.20* Amazing thank you :) ### 5/5 — A great trip down memory lane *2011-02-27* I can't believe it's been 20 years since these awesome FTA demos hit the scene. I remember the anticipation (and phone bill) associated with dialing into my favorite Apple II BBS to download these FTA releases. ### 5/5 — Whoa! *2011-02-26* Absolutely perfect. If only I could plug in my Apple 3.5 drive and copy softs! To be able to take the Split Demo with me wherever I go is nothing short of amazing. Thanks, Gogs. You totally rock. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
