Thanks for the response, I will check on the collision, but chances might be low I can create it again, all looks okay to me. I noticed that somehow I get a lot of extra lives in this version

It looks like there is bug with eat m all when you eat the ghost in the tunnel, then I lost a life. (But there is no warning when they turn back to normal) Not really a bug: Black dots do not come back, unless you can do a Boom (to see remaining dots when screen flashes) or when you lost your life, the dots come back.

Addendum for Batocera -- spac-man Batocera-spac-man.zip

Today I got Batocera working in a (Oracle) Virtual Box (VM) environment (not booting from USB). (as with VMware Player I did not had much success to boot from an USB image and to install VMWare tools) * I still suggest to boot Batocera from a USB stick on a PC as it works very well (it works on all x64 PCs I have been testing so far and is perfect, for some modern PC, in the BIOS you need to turn on Legacy support to boot, that's a bit inconvenient). * Note: in a VM environment Batocera performance itself has sometimes audio distortions, but sometimes it is okay (see Batocera audio settings), most systems (MAME, MSX, Commodore64, NES, TI-99/4A) seems to work too fast and for TI-99 somehow the screensize is smaller than other systems. Have not had time to figure out if it is a Virtual Box, or Batocera or MAME setting. * the reason for the VM is that if I do not have my USB with me (or other laptop), I still can do some work on the Batocera system * Once installed. (right click on the icon) and run as "administrator" (I am using a Lenovo to run Virtual Box on Windows 11 64-bit) 1.Download the latest Batocera x86_64 image. 2. Install Oracle's VirtualBox. (Virtual Box 7.x) 3. VirtualBox 7.0.4 Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack All supported platforms Install the VirtualBox #.#.# Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack too. Important is to select "Linux" (and not Windows as it will hang the system) For the rest follow these instructions (also enable 3D acceleration !) https://wiki.batocera.org/run_batocera_in_vm Note" TI-screen is a bit small and speed is too fast.

Nice, looks cool! Another one to add to the emulator list, I have I think all running on my laptop (and Youtube videos of the TI on PSP and Android99 on my "TI99 VIDEOS" channel)

Thanks for clarifying the sprites ! Back to SPAC-MAN, really love the game. .cc @ti99iuc --> Here is the corrected .rpk (e.g. for Batocera / MAME platforms, and image / video preview) Batocera-spac-man.zip

Watching a French movie. Oss117 from Africa with love. (Parody on 007) spotted a TI.

10,750 (Level 5 or 6) Call me a Spac-e-Man

If I am correct, the others I now can think of are: Jawbreaker, Demon Attack, Moon Patrol having these 8x8 sprites ?

I have the original list in word format. It includes also scores of 99'er / HCM "Hall of Fame" and Yesterdays News high score lists. (and include higher scores after these monthly high score competition). Amazing btw how you get the Block Buster score (I am trying really hard, but have not tried the real TI-99, I just have it setup again)

Nice game, love the different options in the game!

Score (level 4) 7590

And for the ones wondering, the firehose cable of the PEB for the TI is extended with 3x extender cables.

In August we had a large fire in the kitchen, luckily not further into the house. The TI & Geneve 9640 found a new home and all working perfectly in order (and a better view).

875

825 level 5 ti99 on batocera platform (mame).

Addendum v2: * Blockbuster * Tetris (2 player version) * gamelist.xml .csv list with a complete list of all modules in the v2 package Batocera-ti99v2-addendum.zip TI99-v2-and-addendum-gamelist.csv

For whatever reason I missed this one until the high score competition selected it. Love the game!

BLOCKBUSTER (Classic 99) - 505 - Level 4 (one time I got 4x blocks in a row to clear, not sure if that gives extra points)

TI99 - Batocera roms - Version 2 * 309 .rpk format modules + images & video snaps. * Upload these files in the roms directory (and in the bios for first time users) https://www.whtech.com/ftp/Cartridges/Batocera/Batocera-ti99v2.zip

I put the all score list together last time. See page 1 for the overview and yours is the highest score now! Maybe a good new idea to add that to the competition as sometimes I like to play the older games in the list

V1.5 on Batocera (Mame) 78,110

Classic 99 - Keyboard for Joystick 2 (use TAB for Fire)
