Omega-TI Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 It looks like it would be an aggravating game to play. I doubt I'd be able to control the height with it's variations on each flap. If that's a bird, well, I dunno, but it looks like a frog with short stubby arms to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+InsaneMultitasker Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 That looks like one very annoying "game"..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senior_falcon Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Looks like the person playing the game got worse with practice. I can sure relate to that!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary from OPA Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Sounds like fun to program. Maybe I might try. But currently need to get another TI99/4a console working, my main one has decided to go techicolor on me, still works perfectly but I can't see the image clearly, its like it video ram is gone bad. I hate programming games on emulators, it just does not work if you want it on real hardware later. And the rest of my backup consoles are still back in Canada in cold storage, got to get one ship down here, or find a cheap one mailed to me from usa, as i doubt anyone has extra ti here in DR.

As good a reason as any to get an F18A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary from OPA Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 As good a reason as any to get an F18A That is true, I have to look more into this F18A, cost, getting one here, etc. In the meantime I might just install my own TIM my OPA 9938 board, I have one of those here, and that should fix up any issues with the old TI99 video ram and 9918 processor.

+Vorticon Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Similar concept, but with a space theme GRAVRUN.ZIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sometimes99er Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) Luckily I gave up on that one, playing it that is, after only about a dozen of tries. Probably spent more time watching YouTube and almost believing the frustration it can cause. Funny and scary.

+arcadeshopper Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Similar concept, but with a space theme uhm.. this just sits and blinks fuel and torpedos.. no pipes or birds or instructions Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Vorticon Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) Ahh no... No birds in space I'm afraid The instructions are simple: get through the tunnel without bumping into the energized borders or the intervening barriers. Press any key to activate your thrusters and press Q for shields in desperate situations. This game was my submission to the Short & Sweet Game Contest back in 2010 created by Opry99er here on AtariAge where each submission had to fit in only 30 lines of Extended Basic and up to 10 DATA lines. There were a total of 17 entries (!), all of them very impressive. The entire collection is on the Gameshelf site under SSGC, but I plan on posting all the games individually with the next update.

You know, on retrospect I realize that you said this in a forum full of old men who play and write video games. You are just asking for a whoopin', young lady. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran some other space game.. trying yours now ok yes I totally was running some other space game (that doesn't work btw.. probably something in classic99's dir by default) anyway yours is very challenging (read too hard) Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you're running my TI BASIC "Space Fighter" game. Enemies don't start to appear until you start moving - use A/Z and S/X to adjust speed and shield power. This one? http://harmlesslion.com/software/spacefight Edited February 28, 2014 by Tursi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
