    Best/worst part of game making is when you can finally play a build, you realize it needs something more, then the solution hits you and you have to rip out all the code you just wrote...

  2. InfernalKeith

    First look at my new TI game Ruinsweeper now up at www.orphantech.com!  Hoping to finish the last section today.

      Nice. I have a ti-99/4a with a cassette player to run programs.

    2. InfernalKeith

      InfernalKeith

      Awesome! This game will require disk and 32K expansion, but the next two on my to-do list are gonna be cassette games for the unexpanded system.

    Trying for a week to get back into coding mode and make progress on my game... feels like my brain is made of rubber cement.  Hoping to at least get a few game loop routines down tonight and get back in the zone.

  4. InfernalKeith

    Been going to bed at 'normal' hours lately. Also hit a wall on my coding projects. Stayed up till 4am last night and got more done than I have in a month. That third shift life is where it's at.

    I may have bought another 2600 with 40+ games today JUST to get H.E.R.O.  WORTH IT!

      I consider myself lucky...BITD I bought H.E.R.O. for my ColecoVision.   Still have it, complete...Great Game and the Atari 2600 version is super fun too!

      InfernalKeith

      I have the C64 version and love it.  I just decided to start picking up more game for the 2600 again, and between this and Beamrider, I'm glad I did!

  6. InfernalKeith

    Got a new TI 99/4A BASIC game almost ready to launch! "High Seas" is coming!

      Great to see people still programming in TI BASIC! My very first programming language.

    2. InfernalKeith

      InfernalKeith

      We can compile the code now, but I'm trying to make this game as old-school as possible (even gonna make some copies on cassette to release).

    3. jaybird3rd

      jaybird3rd

      That's the way to go! Make it as authentic as possible.

    Had my gallbladder out today. I went under at 2:30 and was home by 7:30. Not everything about the future sucks. :)

      That's great the surgery went well for you, and hopefully recovery isn't too uncomfortable. It must have been a (thankfully) low risk surgery if you got out of the hospital the same day. =)

      That's why sugeries are nicer now...you go in, take a nap and you go home the same day fixed up.

      i had mine out two years ago and was one of the best things i couldve done for myself.

    Any metalheads in the forums tonight? Currently listening to the Enslaved discography, I'm up to "Vertebrae."

    1. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      Yup...Want something Bizarre? Check out Igorrr ...(Possibly weirder than bands I've been in)

    It physically hurts to go outside. -20 wind chills. I've got beer and games and I'm calling in dead.

      Our ancestors spent thousands of years learning how to make houses, furnaces, video games and snacks. We owe it to their hard work to enjoy their efforts.

    Insomnia-cleaning the basement and garage at 3am. About to fire up the Vic-20 and take a Gridrunner break!

      I couldn't sleep last night at 1am so I fired up the 2c and pulled the c64 out of the closet for the first time in a few years. It still works like a champ!

    3. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      I also couldn't sleep last night so played Wall Defender on Atari. That game is murder on my wrists!

  12. InfernalKeith

    TI 99/4A users - just uploaded a new puzle game, "Demolish," in the development forum

    1. Schmitzi

      Schmitzi

      yeah :)

  13. InfernalKeith

    Need $ for a plane ticket. Might put my TRS-80 Model I or Bally Astrocade up for sale. Tough call.

  14. InfernalKeith

    There's no Del Taco within 70 miles of home. I passed one tonight on my drive, got too excited and ordered way too much. Can someone wake me in six months? :P

      I'm a Bell fan but Del Taco's better on all fronts IMO. I only ever had Taco John's and Taco Casa one time each, didn't care for either of them, but it's been long enough that I'll probably revisit them next time I'm in a place where they are.

    3. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      We used to have 7 Taco Johns here (But only 2 Taco Bells)...as they (Taco Johns) were born in Cheyenne (International Headquarters is here), but their main draw is the potato oles...And a cool Breakfast thing they do with potato oles, plus eggs, peppers, nacho cheese, shredded cheddar, tomatoes, onions, sour cream etc...Sometimes I think you will miss whatever your town does not have...We used to go to this cool taco place in Nebraska called Tres Amigos that had a salsa bar and served beer, b...

      ...but otherwise resembled Taco Johns :)

  15. InfernalKeith

    What's a system you didn't know until it was retro? I have an Intellivision and an Atari 800XL, never used them as a kid, now they're mysterious and weird to me.

      Never even heard of a Bally Astrocade until I joined up here. Still never seen one. I know if I do someday I'm gonna react like it's the flippin' Jade Falcon.

    3. InfernalKeith

      InfernalKeith

      I had an Astrocade early on but never thought I'd find one as an adult. I hardly ever play it but I'd be sad if it wasn't there with the other soldiers.

      The only thing I can think of is the Japanese equivalents of things, so I'm not sure if they count...Famicom, Super Famicom, Mega Drive and PC Engine...

  16. InfernalKeith

    CDs, vinyl, floppy disks, cartridges, tapes, VHS movies, 9-pin sticks. Here to the real stuff you can put your hands on!

    It's Model I Day! My TRS-80 lot is on the truck! Now to figure out where the hell I have room to set it up.

      It's getting to be tough-call time. Does my sad little Mattel Aquarius NEED to take up real estate permanently? :)

      If you switch to emulation all you need is fake-estate.

    Anyone still mess with the old Scott Adams text adventures? Thinking of giving them a go, it's been years and I always quit before I solved them.

    Rearranging my neglected war room downstairs. Got my 2600, Bally, Colecovision & Odyssey2 set up last night. Trying to make room for every system!

    1. BassGuitari

      A man after my own heart. The 2600, Bally, and Odyssey are some of my top systems!

    Landed a working TRS-80 Model I today! I'm so psyched to add it to my war room!

      Nice! I was beyond excited when I got my Model I...I'd wanted one forever but never thought I'd get one.

       

      @Trekker: That's the Color Computer. Model I/III series systems don't use carts.

      My Junior High computer lab in 1983-84 was filled with TRS-80's with the dual disk drives. Also had a Kaypro II. Awesome machines.

    Trying to build slightly not-dumb AI that I can add to and make smarter later. Oh hey, hi 4am...

      Just played your other game,Dice Crash, last night. Still loving that game :)

  22. InfernalKeith

    I like how my mind works when I've been programming a lot. I'm just a hack in BASIC but it makes me smarter and sharper somehow. I gotta quit slacking on that.

  23. InfernalKeith

    TI 99/4A fans, my new XB game 'Dicecrash' is finished! Download it in the TI Development forum.

    1. Iwantgames:)

      Iwantgames:)

      Awesome :) time to go for new highscore ;)

  24. InfernalKeith

    Chasing down bugs! Almost done! Releasing 'DICECRASH' for the TI 99/4A in the forums tonight!

    1. Iwantgames:)

      Iwantgames:)

      Awesome :) can't wait to try it out

  25. InfernalKeith

    RIP Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor, former drummer of Motorhead. Gonna crank up "Ace of Spades" and "Bomber" loud and proud today.
