+OLD CS1 #2666 Posted December 3, 2019 I do not recall if it is an official "rule," and I am not about to scour through 106 pages because lazy, but I recall part of the contest was to win a TI-related item put up by the previous month's winner. Is that still a thing? I have a few items I can toss in for fun, if needed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Opry99er #2667 Posted December 3, 2019 Originally the intent was for the selector to put up a prize of some sort... didn't have to be anything crazy. The winner of the month's challenge would get the prize from the previous selector, and then he would then select a game and offer a prize. One of the original adopted customs was that the person putting up the prize couldn't win their own prize, and that their scores wouldn't be counted amongst the entrees. This was never official, it was just what we did. This kind of ensured that just one person wasn't winning month after month. But as the participation slowed somewhat, it didn't make sense to adhere to any 'hard and fast' rules, as this isn't exactly the 2600 High Score of the month club. Now those who participate are mostly just having fun competing, and there's definitely value in that. I do have to admit though, there have been some AMAZING prizes offered up over the years, and I feel like that did increase involvement pretty substantially. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is there a trick to getting this game to work? I'm using the Classic99 emulator. I load the rom, get the TI994A screen that says press any key to begin, but all that comes up is PRESS 1 FOR TI BASIC.

+OLD CS1 #2674 Posted December 17, 2019 I am ridiculously busy and cannot afford my attention on anything beyond snarky comments and minimal draws on my attention. I have not even ventured into the dev forum in a while. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asmusr #2675 Posted December 17, 2019 In order to make any progress in the game it is essential to learn how to stand on an item and pick it up while you jump away from it. This makes it possible to jump longer/higher while keeping your items. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
