    I'm going to skip that one, since I've started to play through all SA adventures some months ago, and I remember quite well the way to get to the "yellow screen" for the last 7 games. Just working on #8: Pyramid of Doom.

     

    Hi mizapf, I think with your dedication to playing all of these adventures, you surely should participate. I think if you repeat your adventuring during the month of March, it should count towards this contest.

    I played and completed Pirate Adventure back in 1982 if memory serves me right. I would have preferred to try something new. How about allowing us to pick whichever adventure we want among the original Scott Adams ones?

     

    That sounds great. I will select the winner based on points scored across the various Scott Adams adventures during the month of March. So play whatever of these adventures you like.

     

    It is really cold and snowy here in Colorado today. Perfect day for adventuring.

    TI-99/4A High Score Challenge

    Month: March, 2019

    AND NOW FORM SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!

     

    Game: Adventure - Pirate Adventure

    Scoring: Find treasures in the game. Type "score" in the game and your score will display. I believe the maximum score is 100 for finding all of the treasures. If multiple people have scored 100 points by March 25, I will come up with a tiebreaker. It will likely be another adventure challenge and/or I'll pick the best picture of your notes, map, etc.

    Prize: A Navarone cartridge selector switch


    Shipping: I will pay shipping, international shipping included

    Well, come along boys and listen to my tale

    I'll tell you all my troubles on the ol' Chisholm Trail
    Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yea
    Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea.

    I started up the trail October twenty-third
    Started up the trail with the U-2 herd
    Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yea
    Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea.

    On a ten dollar horse and a forty dollar saddle
    Started out punchin' them long horn cattle
    Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yea
    Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea.

    With my seat in the saddle and my hand on the horn
    I'm the best dang cowboy that was ever born
    Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yea
    Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea.

    It's cloudy in the west and lookin' like rain
    And my danged old slicker's in the wagon again
    Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yea
    Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea.

    The wind began to blow and the rain began to fall
    And it looked like we were gonna lose 'em all
    Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yea
    Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea.

    No chaps, no slickers and it's pouring rain
    I swear I'll never night herd again
    Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yea
    Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea.

    I cripple on my horse and I don't know how
    Roping these long horn U-2 cows
    Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yea
    Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea.

    Well, I went to the boss to draw my roll
    And the boss had me fugured nine dollars in the hole
    Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yea
    Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea.

    Well, me and the boss we had a little spat
    So I hit him in the face with my ten gallon hat
    Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yea
    Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea.

    The boss said to me, ''Well, I'll fire you
    Not only you but the whole darn crew.''
    Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yea
    Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea.

    I'll sell my horse, I'll sell my saddle
    And you can drive all your long horn cattle
    Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yea
    Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea.

    Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yea
    Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea

    This was one of the games I had as a kid. I often got it confused with Tombstone City. Neither one of them really got my interest back then. Probably because Parsec, Munch Man, and Tunnels of Doom were so awesome. And Football.

     

    Now that we get to focus on it for the game of the month, I'm finding it quite fun. I like how the enemies change with each day, kinda like in Munch Man. I now know what a "day" is, and how to actually move from one day to the next. I didn't figure that out until this week.

     

    I want to give the enemies names.. like "backwards shooting crossbow guys" and "infinite ladders"...you'll see as you unlock them.

     

    Good luck everyone. Now that we have survived Valentines Day, we can get back to some retrocomputing awesomeness.

    Well I embarrassed myself today almost..I thought I had the high score in St. Nick, but when i was making the list of scores, I found that my nemesis, Globeron, won this month.

     

    So since I compiled the scores, I thought I’d post them. I’ll leave it to Globeron to pick the next game.

    It runs on my FG99, but the speech does not work.

     

    Questions about game play: is there any way to "pull" a ship piece or otherwise move it away from the wall, or is that part of the challenge? and is there any way to kill the aliens.

     

    It turns out there must be a limit on the number of files in a directory. Once i created a few more folders and put less files in each directory, i could find perfect push in the TI menus.
