vectrexroli Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Wasn't that thing supposed to be bad for the eyes? And the monochrome color... still I see no need for the hating, your production quality is top-notch. The only color you get is red and the display is in 3D, It is not really bad for your eyes it is the same as with all 3D stuff, if your eyes are fine you can use it for hours, if your eyes have issues you will get a headache and many people do have eye issues even without knowing it, as the brain can compensate a lot of eye problems. But that cannot happen with the TI-99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertLM78 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 ...But that cannot happen with the TI-99. No problems there . (Speaking of 3D though, I'm reminded me of the fake 'Elite' that was "released" recently.... wire-frame graphics are as close to 3D as it gets on the TI.)

vectrexroli Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 *cough* Nice, back in the days I would have shit my pants seeing graphics like that. I always wanted to program some simple 3D game on my TI-99 by using anaglyph glasses, but the problem always was that the colors on the screen didn´t match the colors on my glasses. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastik Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 *cough* I wonder if something like the fake 3D dungeon's in Phantasy Star are possible on the TI-99? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1500 Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 I wonder if something like the fake 3D dungeon's in Phantasy Star are possible on the TI-99? They did, and it was called Tunnels of Doom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roli you keep up the good work also on your videos and keep the Ti-99 ones coming. People will catch on soon enough and they'll see all the great games and programs still being released for the Ti-99. Right now the commodore is seeing a resurgence and soon enough the Ti will see one also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vectrexroli Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Matt also made some interesting interviews with famous developers. Quite interesting stuff on his channel. I have some TI-99 games lying around here I would like to show at some point, like Slymoids for example. I like the "cowboys and aliens" theme of that game. But first of all I need time for that and at the moment I also have to finish some commercial videos first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
