TI-Til-I-DI

That's pretty sweet!!

I wonder how different the TI scene would be today if both these carts were easy to obtain. They both seem to offer MUCH more than regular TI Extended Basic!

You're at a lawn sale and you come across a nondescript TI cart with a piece of paper taped on that simply says, "Extended Basic". You buy it for a couple of bucks and slam it into the cartridge port as soon as you get home. You turn it on and can't believe your dumb luck!! Which would get you more excited: if it was Extended Basic ll Plus by Mechatronic or XB3 Super Module by Asgard?? If you'd go into WHY you prefer one over the other, l'd appreciate it...

Cooooooooooooool

I have DABBLED with Assembly via my Mini Memory 'Lines' program. I have two books on programming Assembly on the TI. I would like to get some good reading material on Video Game theory. Its been a loooong time and will probably take me a couple of years to get up to speed. I will have to decide soon if I'm gonna go olde school and hammer it out like I would back in the 80s or will I allow some of the cool upgrades/contributions to sneak in. YEP, that was the Impossible Mission game I had in mind. I also think the Arcade game 'Track & Field' should be on the TI even though I own the Arcade version. I seem to recall that this WAS going to be an Atarisoft title that never made it to the stores. Appreciate that. What I meant is that I WILL, read quite a bit and try stuff out BEFORE crying, "Hey howdya all do that?! May the Forth be with us ALL!!

Still have my TI-99/4a from 5th grade. Am thinking about getting back into it and finishing some game programming goals I struck out on some 30 years ago. Was a TI version of Impossible Mission ever made? If Coleco had it then it wouldn't be too much trouble to go from there? Since I am JUST getting back into this, I will do my level best to keep the questions down to a dull roar... Thanks for any advice and help in advance!!
