pixelpedant Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 There's a pretty large library of games with 9918 graphics (and often SN76489 sound) which have never gotten a TI-99 release. Games for SG-1000/SC-3000, MSX1, Colecovision/ADAM, etc. So generally Z80 based systems. What games with ready-to-go 9918 graphics (and possibly SN76489 sound) do you wish could get a TI-99 port?

pixelpedant Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 For me, for example, Konami's Antarctic Adventure is one of these. But I'm a big fan of games that pull off an "into the screen" motion/perspective illusion on limited hardware (Buck Rogers, etc.) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstimson Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Bosconian! I have this cartridge for my MSX machines, but always wanted it on the TI. And the TI voice synthesizer would be a natural for the in-game speech as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pulled off some seriously impressive graphics...

Door Door. Someone did a ColecoVision port of it, I believe. I can't find the video offhand. Edit: Here it is: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Ksarul Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 It would be good to find a copy of the Door Door program for the Pyuuta (and the tweaked version that runs on a Tomy Tutor). It seems that the only places that had it online are gone. . .the files were on sites made by @tanam1972. He is still here though, so he may be able to tell us more.

Firefly Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I've always thought "Venture" on the ColecoVision would be a nice game for the Texas ....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
