Apple Orchard
Fill your three applecarts with fruit in William Prew's fast-action game. Instructions are in the program.
In Apple Orchard you are engaged in a desperate mission to save as many apples as possible before the arrival of a hurricane. So if you didn't know it was Be Kind to Defenceless Fruit Week, you do now...
Fortunately, you're mechanised - you have thre buggies that you use to tear round your orchard. But the local vandals have scattered tacks arounds, so you also have to avoid crashing, and fuel is limited, so watch the gauge.
