Three Mile Island is an Apple II game written by Richard Orban and published by Muse Software in 1979. Three Mile Island: Special Edition is a 1980 update that is written in 6502 assembly language instead of Integer BASIC. [1]
The game gets its name from the Three Mile Island accident, which occurred the same year as its release. The date the game is set is December 30, 1978 - which was also the day Unit 2 of the Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station went into commercial operation.
Three Mile Island is a simulation game set in a nuclear power plant with an impending nuclear meltdown. [2]
Bruce F. Webster reviewed Three Mile Island in The Space Gamer No. 34. Webster commented that "Three Mile Island is not a cheap piece of software, in any sense of the term. But for those of you with the interest and the money, I can recommend it to you without reservations." [2]
