Seven years later, love this story and love your Amiga setup.
That room isn't that clean anymore. I have books and flight simulator equipment everywhere. I've been working out of that room since March 2020 and it's a little more worse for wear. I think my wife regrets getting me that 3d printer for christmas.

I've been out of pocket for a while, and actually heard about this catching up on old Floppy Days podcasts. I was floored to hear this. James was a very nice fellow, I even thought about him last week wondering how his football game was going and planned on stopping by to ask. He helped me out a lot when working on Night Stalker and gave me a lot of good advice. Rest easy and calm winds my friend. You are missed.

I really wish I knew about this as a kid with only an unexpanded TI and a Cassette recorder.

That's pretty slick looking

how tall relative to the case does the side card extend? Looking at your test MB it looks to be the same height as the top of the cartridge, does that mean it's roughly flush with the top of the case? Getting rid of that firehose is a long standing dream for most TI users.

I just installed it in C:\modulecreator_20 so I didn't have to change anything

Of all the things I've seen, that is far and away the most recent. ?

If you could somehow make the pegs compatible with the mitsumi keyboard key caps, you would suddenly render a boatload of useless keyboards useful again

That was like watching Usain Bolt beat someone in the 100m after giving him a 80m head start

It remained a demo, but I think he posted the source for it on the development sub forum[mention=16219]retroclouds[/mention] posted this like 11 years ago on Youtube & I just stumbled across it. Was it ever finished? Did he ever post it?

I would like to see a drop in mechanical switch keyboard replacement that is compatible with mitsumi keyboard caps, so we don't have to fear ebay purchases anymore

One wonders if any of those cartridges or laser discs survive. . .but the fact that recruitment centers had them actually helps explain the somewhat large (relative to the p-Code box) number of survivors. The military doesn't always just trash stuff when they are done with it, they sell it as surplus, so the survival rate is higher. Businesses often just write things off and drop it into a dumpster.
The radio I used in the 90's was also used in the Korean war, so you are correct about the army not throwing anything away.
We also used Commodore 64's for rifle training, it was a whole kit with a mock M16 that had a DB9 plug. -
I have mentioned this in the past on a previous thread about it. I saw one in action at the recruitment center when I joined the Army. It was used to train recruits with a multi media presentation. The one at the recruiting station had the previously mentioned laser disc player. It was the sidecar version.and the software was on a cartridge. You answered questions and it would play a video based on your answer.The Video Controller was in production--both as a sidecar (I have one) and as a PEB card (I'm still trying to get one). The important thing to note with these is that they had Class A FCC certification, which meant that they were not usable in a home environment (that reqiured Class B certification). A lot of school districts and businesses apparently had them, but very few actually survived. There are several different compatible VCRs (each with a special cable set) and at least one compatible Laser Disk player. Note also that the PEB version isn't complete unless it has a cable attached to the connector on the back that leads to a set of video connectors for the VCR cables to terminate to. These connector blocks are much harder to find than the cards are. . .

Are you planning on having the ground and sky change when you use the tree wall texture? It would feel like you were in a dark forest if the ceiling just went black and dirt grass textures were used for the ground. -
I am constantly being amazed by what shows up in these forums.
This would have been one of the best selling games ever on the TI back in the day.

It was my plan to do something medieval and dungeon like, but since the color palette makes that difficult my current plan is to do something 'abandoned tech'/sewer like. The current selection of monsters doesn't really comply with that, so if I don't want to draw them I need to look for a another source. The current weapon you could think of as a thrown rock, which should apply to any setting, but really the whole thing is up for debate - also the way of controlling the game, which could be changed to 'mouse pointer' style. Maybe I should reserve some screen space for status information, and maybe the game should be turn based? The only thing that's clear is that this is not a first person shooter but more like an RPG. I'm not going to update the non-textured FPS any further.
Just make the game where you're a plumber fighting creatures in the sewer, worked for Nintendo. You have to fight the creatures as you fix broken pipes.

Holy s***, man this amazing work. The icon for our latest game takes up more memory than what you're working with.

If you're working on sprites, If we could define a range as a flip book to work on sprite animation that would be useful
ie, select sprite 3 as the first frame and sprite 8 as the last frame and have it cycle through all sprites "frames" at a defined frame rate.

Make a 3D version of A-MAZE-ING, then all you have to do is make cats that chase you.

My concern is I have seen this same sort of thing happen before in some of the other forums I am or was in, and the promise of no intervention by corporate overlords was eventually overtaken by the desire to monetize every aspect of the community and it caused it to die on the vine. I hope it's a transparent transition, but I will remain wary.
