Question Emulating Prisoner 1980
I'm not super into emulation but I wanted to try out Prisoner, couldn't find anyone hosting it online so I'm now trying to emulate it myself. Using AppleWin, I've followed exactly what I need to do to load it up, and it just doesn't work and prints gibberish to the screen.
What's the best course of action? Are the images I'm finding just bad? What's the best way to emulate apple 2 games? (which seems to be ".do", at least that's what I have)
I've only ever emulated old xbox and ps games and it was much easier than this lol

Emulating old computers can be trickier than consoles at times
I can't post any links here, but look for a file called the prisoner [alt] .dsk
Avoid copies that say no boot
