Choplifter for the TI-99/4A

[S1500]

Has ANYONE actually seen physical evidence of this? It keeps getting referenced in books, magazines, cart lists, but I have actually yet to see the dang thing. It's the Keyser Soze of games. Even listed in twin galaxies, but no score exists(heh).

Heh heh, that's a great movie. As far as I know Choplifter has never physically surfaced for the TI. I really wish it would. I'd love to see how a TI port of that game would be like. Who knows though. It might just pop up one day. Robotron, Tutankham and Lasso did.

I'd love to get it. My TI doesn't get enough play time. That would definitely increase it.

Unfortunately, there aren't that many arcade games available for the TI-99/4A.

 

However recently some new homebrew arcade games did get released (e.g. Neverlander or Pitfall!)

and there is more to come....

 

Myself am currently working on a homebrew version of Time Pilot for the TI-99/4A.

The latest beta -still in a very early development stage- is available at http://www.retroclouds.de

Excellent. I was not aware of this. I can't wait to try it out.

Just looking at the screenshot, that is pretty dang accurate. You even got the font right.

 

I know in some of the TI games I have trudged through downloaded from websites, there seems to be some obscure really early 80s arcade games that got ported to the TI, that I never saw "in the day". One of them was Fantasy. Heck, I never even knew Blasto was an arcade game until I saw it listed in MAME a couple years ago. Mind you, it was a really super-old arcade game, but there it was.
