Omega-TI Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 What are some really good sleeper games for the TI? I'm not the biggest gamer on the planet, but I'll be getting away for a few days and want to try some "different but good" things. So, any suggestions of what cartridge images I should put in the FG99 for the trip? Oh, and OLDCS1, no need to mention Zero Zap! Due to space limitations I'll not be taking a joystick, trackball or PC keyboard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOME AUTOMATION Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 PHM3038G.BIN I have a logical problem with this file. ...I'm fairly certain this game is on a single GROM. Yet, the file is 16k. When I edited it down to size, it wouldn't work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mizapf Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) This is Connect Four, as found in the MAME cartridge connect4.zip. It is a GROM 4, located at 8000-97FF. phm3038g4.bin Edited July 9, 2020 by mizapf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The file here probably has the loader and code added to make the program run out of the 32K space. . . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkdrummer Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 HUSTLE is a game I've always liked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+InsaneMultitasker Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Are you looking to try out simple games or games you haven't heard of or....? Tunnels of doom has many options and you can choose difficulty level, single floor up to 10, and you can even input your character name as "OMEGA-TI". All CAPS, of course 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 Yeah, simple and fun games that do not take forever to finish. I only have a few days, and I also have to cram in a video, a little XB programming, along with my daytime holiday activities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno... I just ran it on "real iron" w/o 32k. ...Hmm, maybe this was done ...to somehow pad the missing GROM3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Torrax Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Looks like this module was dumped with V9T9. The non-existant groms were filled by random contents of your PC's memory in the transfer process. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flottmann1 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 this is the original Grom from Connect Four CONNECT.bin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 This is overdumped (250 excess bytes). The first 6144 bytes of your dump match the file I posted above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 Okay, tomorrow I'm packing up my TI to take it with me on vacation, now that portability is feasible with the TIPI/32K sidecar in the speech box. I have CONNECT FOUR on the FG99 now as recommended by @HOME AUTOMATION, but nothing else so far. As Number 5 used to say....

I’d like to see a “Sleeper Classic” game of the month on your YN DOMs. You do seem to be knowledgeable enough to make such a classification. I mean, you’re not the best player but you do know your TI game library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkdrummer Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Yeah, I’m a pretty lousy game player. I do have a pretty big library of games, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 I'm not the best or most prolific game player either, but I want to try new things on this vacation that I've never done before so getting suggestions is the best way to go.
