- VDM99: it fails at start; the outline of the window appears, but then I'm told that it just crashed; is there a newer version of the software?
- TI99-PC: from Paolo Bagnaresi (if I recall); does someone have this?
- I moved stuff to 3.5 TI floppies and thought they could be accessed on my USB external drive on the PC using an emulator; whoops, guess I need the old 3.5 hardware
My, my. I was just giving
a few ideas after returning
to the forums and it seemed
to irritate somehow?
A more helpful RESquence would have
been neat and I had no idea about
any hardware/software limitations that
would have made improving it more difficult.
At the risk of being wrong again or whatever,
another thought I had was that having just RES
as the command instead of that + the full
word available would be an OK tiny change.
I guess some topics can get deeper than
any simplicity their title requests. Oopsie!
- better power switch
* I remember mine eventually taking a long time to actually stay
in the correct spot. I should have just unplugged it after it
was "on" so that I didn't have to fuss with it!
- real lowercase letters (insted of smaller capitals)
- separate arrow keys
- when resequencing, and there's a missing line number,
help the programmer instead of giving "32767"
(there's a program that can resequence better)
- down-inserting cartridges
When I read of unexpanded, I thought of choosing stuff
from BASIC or EB. I picked -----
Forest Fire (John Behnke)
Arrow Zap (from "Entertainment Games In TI BASIC And Extended
BASIC", clone of the awesome ZERO ZAP that's already been
suggested here a bit)
honorable mention:
Diablo (Extended Software, 1983)
well-done for regular BASIC; I think I would have liked the score shown before the end, since
the "0"s are there
hope to see any others you mentioned (like the Buck Rogers-type)!
