Opry99er Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) *Markus of Marinus* Language: TI console BASIC Size: 4080 bytes Climb the 15 level tower to achieve your goal. There is a map and a story in the zipfile, but they're really not necessary to play the game. It will be self-explanatory once you run the program. This game takes place on the far east coast of the provided map. **Edit** Added pictures and another zipfile. MARKUS3.zip is the cartridge image for the game, for those of you wanting to use a cartridge to play it.

Asmusr Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) *FORK* Language: Assembly Size: 4092 bytes, excluding TI BASIC loader See readme.txt for more information. *** If you run this game in an emulator that allows more than 4 sprites on a line to be displayed, please turn this off since the game relies on the 4 sprite limitation to keep the bottom lines of the screen clear of sprites. If you use an F18A that by default allows 32 sprites per line, the game will change this temporarily to allow only 4 sprites per line.

+nanochess Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Astro Cube Language: Assembler Size: 2596 bytes It should work with stock console in a cartridge. Not yet tested in real hardware only with JS99er. Any help testing this would be appreciated Geometrical figures have a war with you, apparently because you don't draw them correctly. Shoot or a heptagon can fall over your head.Press Space to fire, S and D to move left and right.Squares - 10 pointsTriangles - 20 pointsPentagons and hexagons - 30 pointsHeptagons - 50 points Source: https://github.com/nanochess/ti994a Comments: I've wrote this game because the first prize is a TI99/4A... what? no TI99/4A?... nevermind. Edit: Didn't knew but Classic99 requires the GROM to be renamed to contain a letter G after name but before extension. Not sure if allowed by the rules to upload a 8K image (required by my Win setup) Edit 2: Updated the game with corrections, a geometrical city background and thicker sprites (you don't feel the weight if these are wires ) the updated game is astrocube_6000.bin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vg2Msq2pCM game_6000.bin astrocube_6000.bin 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteE Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) Bounce'n'PounceInspired by the game Bump'n'Jump on IntelliVision, this version merges some higher resolution graphics from the arcade original with the single color sprite style from the IntelliVision port. Drive your car into other cars to cause both to bounce; bounced cars will crash into barriers or splash into water. Pouncing on other cars would normally smash them for points, but that was not implemented due to size. Lives are unlimited. There wasn't enough space in 4k to do sound effects or music. Winning the game is not implemented either, but upon reaching the end of the track the game will glitch out and scribble all over VDP memory until the system is reset! Language: Assembly Joystick is required, controls are:Up - Accelerate to max speed of 220Down - BrakeLeft/Right - SteerFire - Jump when speed is 100 or greaterSprite rotation is not implemented, so some opponent cars may disappear,especially adjacent to the speedometer or player car. Using a F18A orFlickering=Off in Classic99 is recommended. Compressed using DAN2 algorithm thanks to NewColeco at AtariAgeFiles:bnp_4k.rpk - Cartridge playable in MAME (-ioport peb -ioport:peb:slot2 32kmem)bnp_4k_c.bin - Cartridge for Classic99 or FlashROM99 (32K RAM required)bnp_fg99.bin - Cartridge for FinalGROM99 (32K not required) BNP_4K.BAS - TI BASIC loader for Mini-Memory cartridge (32K not required) EDIT: Added BNP_4K.BAS and fixed bnp_4k.rpk EDIT2: Changed comment in BNP_4K.BAS at senior_falcon's suggestion bnp_4k.zip Edited March 28, 2018 by PeteE 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+nanochess Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Borzork Language: Assembler Size: 4086 4096 bytes It should work with a stock console in a cartridge. Tested with JS99er and by --- Ω --- in real TI using FG99. This is a Berzerk clone, unfortunately 4K isn't enough for voice and sound but everything else is there 8-direction shooting (combine E+S+D+X plus space for fire) Infinite maze Scrolling maze 14 progressive levels of difficulty Bad robots shooting at you Evil Otto Changing color for robots Animation like in the arcade Rev.2: Evil Otto timing like in the arcade. Rev.2: Random number of robots in each room. Rev.2: Solved bug where bullets getting out of room would continue. Comments: I got a TI/99-4A for testing this game and still expecting my FinalGROM99, but guess what? the TI/99-4A came non-functional! Edit: Thanks to PeteE for his wonderful DAN2 decompressor Edit 2: Did everyone know that my first entry was just the heating? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NG7Irb6VuNo borzork_1.zip borzork_2.zip 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
