jwild Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 TI-99/4A High Score Competition April 2021 Game of the Month SUPERSTORM I have no idea how to play, but I tried it just enough to detect some depth and maybe some strategy. superstorm.bin Good Luck! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tetlee Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Damn, shame I missed Moon Mine, I'm pretty good at that game. I don't have Superstorm but will keep an eye to see what next Months game is. I'm not that good at many but will be fun to have some scores to compete with again. We used to write down a high scores list for the games back in the day, now that's old school? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tetlee Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Well now I have finalgrom I should be able to take part in most of these? This particular one is a game I have never played or even seen before. I have absolutely no idea what the hell is going on. Looked on YouTube but couldn't find much on there. Anyone give me the lowdown? Seems a bonkers game but hopefully a good one if I can make sense of it all. Anyway here is my high score for now... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Here's a copy of the manual for Slime (the original title for the game on Atari computers) that I found on the Atarimania site. We probably need to make a modified version in the Atarisoft format for the TI cartridge, as no manual for that one has ever surfaced.

jwild Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I think it is so cool you found this manual. How did you know it was based off of the Atari game? Did you play Slime in the past?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Random research, @jwild. BITD, the references to the TI version also used both names at random (as if they hadn't decided on the final name yet, so one article used one and the next used the other). I remembered that, so I went a-hunting. . .and verified my suspicions during my search. BITD, a lot of folks thought the references were for two different games, LOLOL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count9929A Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 mmhh I post this just to participate to this month's game. Yesterday I read the manual, now the game starts to make sense to me... but it's hard! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixelpedant Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 This game is interesting to me, as one of those games which has a "perfectionist" sort of challenge model, where your goal is getting a perfect or near-perfect setup as often as possible, and the dropoff in score and survivability resulting from non-optimal setups is huge. That's not entirely good or entirely bad. Just a bit uncommon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetlee Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I need to have another go at this now I have an idea as to what is about. Will try and have a go tonight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetlee Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) Well even knowing what trying to go this game seems brutal. My best attempt which annoyingly I lost two ships from the off to those meteorites that seem impossible to avoid. Interesting game, but certainly a tough one. 3800. Fair play to jwild and pixelpendant, amazing scores! Edited April 30, 2021 by Tetlee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count9929A Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Maybe now I am starting to understand how to play this game. I think you cannot avoid fireballs... if they are fired against your ship. But it's too late, here is my best score so far. Congratulations to jwild and pixelpedant! The game is tough, as Tetlee says, and also frustrating. Makes me desire to have the TI Invaders ship, to wipe out all the slime and those damn flying saucers ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
