Omega-TI Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I didn't want to thread crap on another area so... I think this old TRS-80 game might be another candidate for a port. It has a little space invaders type play with a few tweaks, multiple hits on upper levels (like Parsec), and the docking between levels (for a change up). It was fun to play, even with the blocky black and white graphics. It might be nice to see this converted. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6qg1JAWe-w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt_Woloch Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 This looks somewhat similar to Astro Fighter by Data East... which already has been ported to the TI-99 back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samishal Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 A good turned based Squad tactics game like the XCOM games would be pretty cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKRetrogamer Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) Not asking for much, are you? Oh... H.E.R.O. Would be an awesome port to the Ti-99/4a. Edited October 30, 2014 by UKRetrogamer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firepod Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I 2nd the Xcom type game, I love that style and it's a rare style to see in caming!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
am1933 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 ...and asking for a conversion of Elite isn't? I know the old vector/wire frame thing is a problem on the 4a, but at least the original Elite was done in 22K of code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperious Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I reckon with Rasmus awesome smooth scrolling a decent conversion of Xevious wouldn't be too much of a stretch for the TI? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 I second these... QIX without a doubt NEEDS to be done! You sold me on this one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dphirschler Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 If Arkanoid is seriously in development, I hope special consideration is given to the MBX analog joystick. Or even a mouse or special paddle control. Darryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unhuman Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Tiger (Miner 2049'er people) made some xevious like game. TI's limited colors made it really hard to play IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Are you thinking of Espial? That was the only other TI title TigerVision released, although they were supposedly almost ready to release Springer too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmusr Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I reckon with Rasmus awesome smooth scrolling a decent conversion of Xevious wouldn't be too much of a stretch for the TI? War Zone II is a very nice port of Xevious. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperious Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 War Zone II is a very nice port of Xevious. WARZ2.JPG Thanks Rasmus, I'll check that out. I second an earlier comment about Time pilot getting finished, that would be fantastic. I had seen that on Youtube a few years ago long before I got a real TI again. I bet the TI could do a better job than the c64 on that, it suffers slowdowns but otherwise is good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmheads Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 What about the classic game "Thrust"? http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrust_(video_game) This has been even been ported to the Atari 2600! Could even be an option as a mini memory game! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
