retroillucid Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) Wich kind of box design would you like to have for TI-99 homebrews? Any scans of originals?

+Ksarul Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Probably your best bet for boxes would be the Atarisoft style, the Parker Brothers style, or the ones that Funware used. Most other TI vendors weren't too imaginative with their boxes--especially TI! On manuals, the later color releases from TI are pretty much the gold standard (Texas Instruments followed a pretty good formula), with a lot of the 3rd party stuff much less interesting. Navarone would be the exception there, or the color manuals from Scott Foresman. 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/216236-what-video-game-do-you-want-to-see-ported-over/#findComment-2822210 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noted, thanks I will do my best to have great boxes/manuals for the TI I will use the same materials as we do for our CV releases I will also do my very best to get you more CV ports for the TI Looks like I need a TI-99 now... 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/216236-what-video-game-do-you-want-to-see-ported-over/#findComment-2822215 Share on other sites More sharing options...
senior_falcon Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 One I'd like see is: Bejeweled I agree! I always liked Bejeweled. A clever programmer could probably write it XB, then run it through the compiler it for adequate speed. The jewels would be four characters or 16x16 pixels which should give decent resolution. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/216236-what-video-game-do-you-want-to-see-ported-over/#findComment-2822235 Share on other sites More sharing options...

A clever programmer could probably write it XB, then run it through the compiler it for adequate speed. The jewels would be four characters or 16x16 pixels which should give decent resolution. This is a screenshot of the Coleco version of the program: It makes me wonder what an F18A version would look like. I'm thinking the TI might be coming into it's second GOLDEN AGE with all these new programs! 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/216236-what-video-game-do-you-want-to-see-ported-over/#findComment-2822270 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RXB Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I am working on a game that seems addictive. Everyone I have tested it on seems to think so. It has similarities to Bejeweled but does not require a fast processor for it to work. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/216236-what-video-game-do-you-want-to-see-ported-over/#findComment-2822408 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I agree! I always liked Bejeweled. A clever programmer could probably write it XB, then run it through the compiler it for adequate speed. The jewels would be four characters or 16x16 pixels which should give decent resolution. Daniel Bienvenu's Bejeweled will be re-released on ColecoVision in 2014, by Team Pixelboy, under the name Jewel Panic. Since this is the TI board, one TI game I would like to see ported to the CV is Microsurgeon. Somehow, the TI version seems slightly more advanced than the Intellivision version. Given that the TI uses the same graphic chip as the ColecoVision, I'm guessing porting it should be technically possible, although I am aware that the TI is not a Z80 machine. EDIT: Oh, wait, it's the other way around, isn't it? This thread is about CV games to be ported to the TI. My bad. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/216236-what-video-game-do-you-want-to-see-ported-over/#findComment-2822432 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mäsäxi Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 If anyone would like to see more colourful clone of Bejeweled!, then check MSX conversion of Sinclair Spectrum homebrew Be Tiled!. I like the looks of this Bejeweled!, but as I said, there exists more colourful version for our dear VDP.

Omega-TI Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 Okay, now that you Uber Programmer's have shown us that you have the 'stones' to port over some really cool stuff, I wonder... does anyone have what it takes to port THIS game over to the TI with F18A support? <DANGEROUS DAVE -- Video> The gauntlet has been thrown....

Manic1975 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Here is one sugesstion: Boulderdash. Version on Commodre 64 was very good. There was also Pooyan! Arcade version. All these games are now possible to port for TI 99/4a with F18A support.

Willsy Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 A good driving game. We really only have Pole Position, which is pretty poor, although it is at least on a par with other PP conversions. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/216236-what-video-game-do-you-want-to-see-ported-over/#findComment-2851290 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asmusr Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I wouldn't want to struggle with Zaxxon on the 9918A. The graphics in the Colecovision version looks quite impressive, but slow, and the gameplay should be awful. You could probably make a really nice Zaxxon using the F18A. Commando actually seems more a reasonable project for the 9918A although it's 3 years younger than Zaxxon.
