awesome; thanks (I couldn't get it from the only place I found)

- VDM99: it fails at start; the outline of the window appears, but then I'm told that it just crashed; is there a newer version of the software?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

I just found & tried this tonight n' it's a nice belated Christmas gift! ?

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)

Howdy. I've been absent from the forums for a while but am back checking out what is new. This is looking nice and was a good find!

Golly gee, that's right. I learned something new about the 2600 ET. Now, will this make it more enjoyable?

now, that's very-decent (as for the two name ideas, I'd choose ChaoticGrill)

comment #2: wanted to say that it's looking sweet and this is one I'm anticipating; I hope you're feeling better, too

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)!

I just discovered this today (3.11); it's looking swell n' should be fun to try!

"FRO-grrrrrr": the programmer must think of why the creature's a bit angered/annoyed at his afro

ONLY THOSE WHOSE SEIZURES ARE BROUGHT-UPON BY FLASHING-LIGHTS NEED BE CAREFUL

TI is 'backing up' to it's rightful top retro-computer position: 1 DISPLAY BEEP :: PRINT RPT$("T",14); :: CALL CHAR(84,"0038101010101038",73,"007C10101010101"):: PRINT RPT$("I",14); :: CALL CHAR(84,"007C10101010101",73,"0038101010101038"):: GOTO 1

I only recently learned of the software (when I was looking for Donaldson software). Thanks for the help.

This is Regena's "The Ugly Duckling" program from 10/87's "MicroPendium". She wrote of how it was modified for a system with a disk drive n' that the original had a more-involved titled screen. Has anybody ever seen the original version and, if so, could share it? DUCKLING.zip

A cool Christmas gift from a true Santa Klaus. Thanks quite-much.

- from what I recall typing in from lil' papers, they were meant to be fun games and I wasn't happy; some where just as 'tall' as a regular envelope; I doubt they were Tigercub as I know I got dozens of disks from them

#1 - I recall having some "KidWare" games as a...kid. Does anybody have "Glow Worm", "Buried Treasure", "Egg Hunt" or anything from them? Maybe someone made a collection disk-file that's somewhere I didn't know of? #2 - I have no idea what it was, but I remember ordering software that I thought was going to be on a tape but was all sent in an envelope --- programs on strips of paper to be typed in; they were very simple programs and not what I hoped Does anybody recall anything like that and what they were ordered from? I obviously chose certain titles from some manual or magazine.

Still wondering if any of these were available to someone to share (or describe how any were). (-:

from "Parallel Systems" (1983), a game with a very-plain title and nothing super-special; guess the computer's secret word (or word chosen from a list of ones entered) I liked it -- when I was a kid -- and I specifically recall being curious about this in a store instead of some more action-games on the TI NOTE: use the CALL FILES procedure to free some memory... - CALL FILES(1) <ENTER> - NEW <ENTER> - OLD DSK1.WC-GAME <ENTER> WC-GAME.zip

#1: Computer War/War Games TI Invaders (with the SHIFT 838 cheat working) Jawbreaker II Zero Zap (many seem to trash it, but I think its pretty-cool) Q*bert Moon Patrol Spad XIII Spot Shot Diablo (XB puzzler) Rock Runner

This is in memory of Mr. Peterson. I learned from his own programs (like the BXB routine which allowed use of character sets 15/16 in XB) and know that the TIGERCUB collection of disks was most-important in keeping my TI interest. I found so much software I wouldn't have been able to get elsewhere. I recall my last last batch of twenty-or-so TIGERCUB discs. I was in the hospital and ma brought in my mail...which included a box of TI goodness. In my final order, I mentioned to Mr. Peterson how I appreciated his support and that it would be the last purchase (since I got most every disc I wanted over a few years). He wrote on one of the disk-sleeves a thank you n' I was looking forward to getting home and trying the software.

A few niggles of mine: - I think it should mention that scores are only on the horizontal; I didn't know that at first and that wasn't in the instructions - when changing the controls, there's no indication what key was pressed - the controls revert to the default when you play again Poker Solitaire is a favourite game of mine (on the TI from Regena in the past). This was similar but had some extras that made it fun in a different way. Thanks much!
