TI Trek sure brings back memories!  If there was ever a candidate for compiling and turning it into a faster running cartridge BIN this is one.  Maybe it already has and I've forgotten.  It was one of those games I had from my earliest TI days and loading everything from cassette.

 

Great idea for a thread!  ?

It seems to me I saw somewhere that it had been done, but I couldn't tell you where to find it.

Thanks.  I'll go look in the repository, it's highly probable I could have forgotten.

Sure enough!  It's downloadable in << THIS MESSAGE >>

I can't wait for the Geneve 2020 to come out, I want to load that thing up with every piece of software I can find for the 4a and just be able to stroll through the library rediscovering games I've forgotten and trying out new ones!

I just remembered another one: "Mr. T" or maybe it was "The Game of Mr. T" which was in extended basic and pretty funny, if I remember it said on the title screen "I pity da fool who plays this game!"  

 

I can't remember if there were more levels but there was one where you had to get his head across the screen while avoiding scissors that were trying to cut his mohawk, and another where you had to run back in forth with something like a shopping cart to catch things that were falling, kind of like Atari's Kaboom.

I'd actually like to play that. Anyone have a dsk image or ti-files of it?

Mike de Frank's Super Star Trek is pretty great.
