Opry99er Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Pricey? I assume these exist in our databases? ***I got to looking for Adventure games after reading Chris's thread >>HERE<< Buckaroo Banzai: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vtg-NOS-Texas-Instruments-TI-99-TI99-4A-Game-Adventures-of-Buckaroo-Banzai-Tape-/321672263534?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ae529376e Questprobe..Hulk: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Adventure-International-Marvel-Questprobe-Hulk-TI-99-4A-Tape-/200988199937?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ecbd48c01 Sorcerer of Claymorgue Castle: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vtg-NOS-Texas-Instruments-TI-99-TI99-4A-Game-Sorcerer-of-Claymorgue-Castle-Tape-/221689323932?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item339db6a19c Questprobe..Spiderman http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-NOS-Texas-Instruments-TI-99-TI99-4A-Game-Questprobe-Spiderman-Tape-/221640914805?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item339ad3f775 Simon's Saucer: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-TEXAS-INSTRUMENTS-TI-99-4A-SIMONS-SAUCER-Tape-World-Class-Software-1984-/350886707157?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item51b27a3fd5 Simon's Saucer appears to be the only non-Adventure game here.... Kind of a Simon Says type game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I've got originals of all of these--but I'm pretty sure they are already in the database, Owen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 Still kicking myself for not buying the MAZE-MAN tape and manual when it came up on eBay... I sure would like to see a copy of that manual. I did a Google search for it, but no dice. Compu-Things was the name of the manufacturer.

Shift838 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I checked the FTP and did not find the games that Owen listed in this thread. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 I didn't find them on quick glance... But I am also not spending $100 on a cassette tape and cardboard box. maybe for a cartridge, but not a tape--requiring a cart to run.

+acadiel Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Adding to this. I have the first 13 or so Adventure games plus the ones posted right above. There's a bunch of others that I haven't seen on disk image yet, including: Escape from Alcatraz The Great Avocado Adventures Rattlesnake Bend Adventures of Bigfoot Cruel Canyon Cinderella Tomb of the Grey Elf The Investigator Castle Dadrkholm Chapter 1 & 2 On the Loose Lost Gold Mine Adventure 1: Nessie Oliver's Twist The Amusement Park Travelling Witch's Brew Wizard's End World Destruction Zoom Flume Just for kicks and grins, here's the original 13: ADVENT.DSK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+adamantyr Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Several of those were Asgard releases: Rattlesnake Bend Witches Brew Wizard's End Castle Darkholm Zoom Flume Oliver's Twist I have all of them and the manuals. On the Loose came with the Adventure Editor, along with June Lake and Knight Ironheart. The latter was written by M. Weiland himself and is probably the hardest adventure I've ever played. Even studying the code didn't help. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Schmitzi Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Hi, June Lake, do you know who programmed it, and does it need the Adventure Cartridge ? And BigFoot (Saga?), Adventure Cart is needed ? thanks PS: I have 289 entries in the Adventure-Category now (including some Books and Links) Will update that list soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+adamantyr Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 June Lake, yes. Not sure about Bigfoot I'll check later tonight! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digdugnate Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 i was getting ready to say that i have all the original Scott Adams stuff on disk, plus the QuestProbe stuff, plus a few of the others, plus some homebrew type games that I could make TI copies of, but I think it's already been handled here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkdrummer Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Post #1 - SIMON'S SAUCER - This was a Console Basic game - put out by the illustrious 99'er magazine(World Class Software). They called it a FLIPPER SNAPPER. It is actually a jazzed up version of a type in program that was published in their rag. Anything for a buck. I have one of these and the package is actually pretty nice, but I still think it was a rip-off back then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+acadiel Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 There's this one on eBay that has four disks with all the ones I've seen mentioned. Anyone want to grab and archive it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Schmitzi Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 wow, nice list from BuddyBear So I was able to do some corrections. Can somebody confirm wether this games here need the Adventure Cartridge ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And last question (for today, maybe ) Which oh these games are or are NOT related to the "Return to Pirates Isle"-Cartridge ?

+acadiel Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I actually own this set- it's the one I was talking about I picked it up from that seller. What's funny is that it looks like he's just selling copies of floppy disks. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digdugnate Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 (edited) What's funny is that it looks like he's just selling copies of floppy disks. LOL yup, it is. he has a lot of auctions that are like that, too, where it appears to be disk copies of images/etc. i bought it early last year after buying my TI because it was the quickest way (i knew of at the time) to get copies of all the Scott Adams stuff.

Opry99er Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Yes. He does much of his business doing duplication and labeling... usually charges $2 per copied diskette or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+acadiel Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Yes. He does much of his business doing duplication and labeling... usually charges $2 per copied diskette or so. I'll be curious what the cassettes I bought are like, then. Nowhere in the description does he say that they're copies. He states "Like New: An item that looks as if it was just taken out of shrink wrap. No visible wear, and all facets of the item are flawless and intact." condition. If I don't get originals from him, I will be a little upset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digdugnate Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 i have had good luck with him as a seller- he is quick to communicate and he's replaced a cartridge for me that arrived DOA (it was original). My experience with the disks is that the ones i bought were all copies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 He typically will indicate if it is a copy in the listing. He offers a legit service, and as long as he stays honest about what he is selling, I have no issues buying from him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I specifically ordered the items I bought because they didn't say "these are a copy" anywhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Schmitzi Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I bought some piles of stuff from him some years ago, he is a very helpful and friendly seller, Generally, if he doesn´t say "it´s a copy", it is an original. PS: And I like this: "Condition: --not specified-- “ON NEW DISK FOR LONGER LIFE.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+acadiel Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 And they are copies. His on left, mine on right. No instructions either per the auction title. Sigh, now I have to confront him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
