Omega-TI Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 This morning a thought came to mind... "What would a MAXED OUT GAME look like on the TI? Over the past couple of years many of us have purchased F18A's, SAM'S cards and UberGROM cartridges. So, what kind of game could be stuffed in, and max out an UberGROM that would also require all the power of a 1meg SAMS while fully exploiting the F18A's capabilities? I just KNOW some of you guys have an idea or two... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinphaltimus Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Let's get a mass produced SAMS card clone produced for the masses first. Just my opinion. Nothing like peeking in the window of a fire place home during a cold winter storm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrax27407 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 You do know that there is a 1 meg SAMS available? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shift838 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) Let's get a mass produced SAMS card clone produced for the masses first. Just my opinion. Nothing like peeking in the window of a fire place home during a cold winter storm. a new SAMS card was released in 2016. I picked one up and as Tony The Tiger says, 'THEY'RE GREATTTTT!" Read about it. HERE Edited January 15, 2017 by Shift838 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just KNOW some of you guys have an idea or two... I think you could produce a graphic adventure like Monkey Island with this suite of hardware, but this is not a one man job - it would require at least 3-4 people working together, e.g. 1 coder, 2 graphics artists, and one sound/music composer. Another possibility would be a 3D game utilizing the F18A GPU, e.g. space battle/trading, driving, first person shooter. Again I think it would be too big a project for a single person. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right, although with the talent we have on this forum, it is possible! I imagine such a super game would attract more than a few newbies back into the TI-World too... as well as sell more hardware. While something like this would probably take at least a year to develop, oh man, it would be well worth the wait! A must for a mega game like this iwould be a "credits screen", just like PC games. We know there would be room! Of course anyone involved would be immortalized in TI history for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Hell, I'd just be happy if some of the stuff going on lately in the Colecovision scene could be ported. Similar video chip, different CPU I know - but some of these seem a little more down to earth for our humble machines. BTW: anyone know if the TI has a port of Astro Invader by chance? Or Warp & Warp? Great games that look like they could be right at home on the TI today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+adamantyr Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Someone make a CF card reader with 1MB SAMS and I'm on board! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 BTW: anyone know if the TI has a port of Astro Invader by chance? Or Warp & Warp? Speaking of BTW... I really like the fact that you put links to the items you speak of in your posts. It's nice to easily get background information on something when needed. THANKS! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
