Count9929A. 182,000 with the highest score

to select the next game for December.

Thanks Globeron!

I was at the same time happy and sad, because as a kid I used to play Meteor Belt with my uncle, that passed away some years ago. He was a hardware technician, taught me a lot, or at least tried. For instance he told me not to touch the cartridges contacts because it could damage the cart. I didn't believe him, so to demonstrate how foolish I was, I touched the Meteor Belt contacts in front of him... and so we could not play Meteor Belt anymore! 😞 

I would have loved to play again against him! ciao zio!

 

So, back to the present, and please forgive me for this personal moment...

It's time to announce the game of december. I think we need to take a break from action games so how about a logic puzzles game, to pass the Christmas days?

 

Here it is: Fruitee!, ported to TI99 thanks to the excellent work by DJ Smith and the kind request by ti99iug.

Can be downloaded from ti99iug site, in both cart or compiled XB versions!

 

Good fun!

Well, the TI beat me on the last level, but here's a score to start it off. I just played online at the linked page (obviously, TURSI is my score, unless the TI99 is allowed to compete too ). Pretty fun little game.

First try, maybe I first need to read the manual, not sure what I am doing here 🙂

So with the TI taking early leads last month and this month, what do we do if it wins? 

[globeron]

 

TI99 also won here

 

 

[Count9929A]

You're right Globeron, the TI99 can win in this game too. But I didn't notice.

My first attempt, just 2 level played.

[ti99iuc]

I can't give-up on play this month 😛 thanks for the choice @Count9929A i really like this game.

 

 

this is my result 😛

I really like this game! Very original. Is it based on some preexisting concept?

[ti99iuc]

yes it is @Vorticon, this was the thread of my help request years ago

Ah! I had never heard of that one.

Frankly the TI version looks much better. It likely would have been very slow in plain XB though.

[roadrunner]

Do we continue or stop after level 1?

4,480


 

[Count9929A]

My best score so far... nothing impressive, but it's time to enter into the rankings.

Seems very hard to beat TI99, Ciro is a master!! 8-o

 

 

 

[roadrunner]

Played till the end this time, i lost 


 

[+Vorticon]

My best score to date.

[+OLD CS1]

Laid up for a few days, so here I am.

[Count9929A]

Ciro t'ho acchiappato!...

 

at least for now! 🙂

PS: this play was also my first victory against TI99, the machine is very good!

Happy New Year everybody!

 

It seems to me that the ranking is the following:

1. Count9929A - 50840
2. ti99iuc - 50110
3. OLD CS1 - 48920
4. TI99 - 48710
5. Vorticon - 47840
6. jwild - 47690
7. roadrunner - 46090
8. Tursi - 45390
9. Globeron - 44340

So I won, but I suspect that Ciro leave me the victory, because was too busy with XMas Celebrations! 🙂

My choice for the January is a game from a very productive Atari Age pal.

The game is exactly 1 years old, in my opinion is the perfect month to play it:

 

ROBOTS OF DEATH

by Retrospect

 

I think everything about this game is here!

 

Enjoy a new year of fun with TI99!! 🙂

Warming score: 580, level 7, MAME,60hz 

[oddemann]

340 - C99

[roadrunner]

Fun game
530

 

[Retrospect]

430.  Whoever made this game was a nutter.  

 

[+OLD CS1]

I think I might be running a bad version.  All the explosions and transportations effects are off-set from the player ship and robots.
