There were two cassette-tape programs that shipped with the Apple ][ that arrived in our school. Lemonade Stand and The Great American Probability Machine.

This was the old fun, quirky 1970s Apple Computer, Inc. I still fondly remember.

I’ve been trying to find info on the actual game, but all I can find are biographical stories like this one. It sounds interesting by the name! I just wish I could find more info about the game itself

It was distributed on cassette tape at first. Years later it was archived on disk in the "Apple Software Bank, Volume 5"

https://mirrors.apple2.org.za/ftp.apple.asimov.net/documenta...

There's a disk image of it on Archive.org, but the program was written in Integer Basic and the MAME emulator here boots into //e mode. You'll get a LANGUGAGE NOT AVAILABLE error when trying to run it from an Applesoft prompt. Does anyone know how to change the core machine? Is Jason around?

Seems like it's some simulation of Pascal's Triangle with a Pachinko feel?

I'd like to know more too!

Yes, it's totally Pascal's Triangle. Or, if were born after 1980, Plinko.

Okay here's the steps. Took me 40 years to remember how to do this!

0) Go to archive.org here

https://archive.org/download/riag_005_Volume_042_-_Apple_Sof...

1) Save the file "Volume_042_Apple_Software_Bank_5.dsk" locally

2) Run the Apple ][ emulator from here. This will also load the DOS 3.3 disk with Integer BASIC on it:

https://www.scullinsteel.com/apple2/#dos33master|

3) For disk 2, press the folder button, choose the "Local Saves", "Choose File", then load the .dsk file.

4) Then do these commands:

    INT
    LOAD GREAT AMERICAN PROB. MACHINE,D2
    RUN
Enjoy.

PS: LEMONADE is also possible with these same steps, use this disk image:

https://archive.org/download/a2_Lemonade_Stand_1979_Apple/Le...

And then these commands

    FP
    RUN LEMONADE,D2
