unhuman

Okay. I gave again. Down to $275.

You should complain to ebay / Paypal about the bait and switch. Be very thorough in your description, include pictures of what you got vs. what was advertised. State that you do not want to pay to return ship it due to expense and flagrant misrepresentation. You should win. OLD CS1 - I have a console somewhere... PM'ed you.

I think I liked the Top Right best, followed by the Top Left. I found the ones on the bottom to be very flickery. I am not a huge fan of the dithering / color shifting as my eyes really have trouble with the colors and I can't focus well on what the content is. Any effort to minimize that, especially when combined with color changes. If only the TI had a decent palette (sans 9918A).

Redacted.

I'm still lurking, but haven't been active. But, I'm in. Good luck on the walk!

There was one issue where my Artist Enlarger was reviewed... I'd like to get just that issue if I could. I think it was July, 1988. -Howie

Open source, though: https://github.com/elorimer/droid99

Just finished reading all of these! Thank you very much!

I'd kinda like to get some more TI time in. Been lurking for a long time... Haven't coded anything significant since the game competitions of yore. Started something new for the compiler and then just wandered....

I want this ^^^

btw - shouldn't hell yes be above yes?

Wouldn't this just be a fance emulation scheme? That's what all the things are. But, I'd buy one.

I play hockey (2 teams)... Then I have aspirations. Gotta get less lazy.

The technique to move the viper is really crafty.

NoVA

Mine is a play on my name. When I was domain shopping, human.com was taken, but unhuman.com was not.

I hate the chains. It's much easier to spot dots that need to be eaten vs. where chains must be laid.

Datasoft actually published an advertisement for Zaxxon and specifically mentioned they were looking for programmers for the TI-99. It was indeed possible, as the video hardware was the same as CV, which had it. Additionally, we got Arcturus, which essentially was Zaxxon.

I think that Analogies tape is the one I sent you.

Espial is like Xevious, too. But the colors are awful so it's hard to play.

I performed the diode mod when I was a kid on my TI... it worked for a while and then failed after about 10m. Then, when caps lock was on, it would do all lowercase letters. I don't remember if if it would work on reset or I had to let my TI cool off. I tried adding multiple diodes both in parallel and serially b/c I was a kid just experimenting... Didn't help.

I remember the Sam Moore stuff from user group disks! Welcome!

I remember loving this game as a kid. But I also remember how hard it is. I am so bad. For a long time I was forgetting to use the shield... And once the shield goes out, you just have to die, it seems. So very hard.

99'er had the muddiest font with vertical lines between characters to make it even harder. So many syntax errors and bugs....

Reminds me of my old Piranha game: http://www.99er.net/umangames.html That game and Dragon Storm were games of games I never actually played until much later.
