+save2600 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 If the 'completed' version isn't finished... But I get what you're saying, and I hope so! This game looks amazing on the TI. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+nanochess Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Sound is in. Today voice at last without bugs. And some other goodies It's being tested by the fantastic five Btw, many thanks to Opry99er for getting me a voice synthetizer, this helped me to develop and test faster. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 This game, for the TI, is actually on my "Bucket List". It's nice to know I'll be able to put a check mark next to one of those items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted October 22, 2018 Author Share Posted October 22, 2018 Hey guys, Want a sneak peek at Borzork (with sound)? After DECADES of Berzerk in the gaming arena, thanks to Nanochess, you'll all be playing this game sooner than later. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcgLZU3_8HQ 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airshack Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I noticed at PRGE (thanks Greg!) that this game runs at a faster speed than all other home console versions. The added speed makes the game more exciting to play. Is this faster than even the arcade cab? I seem to remember the arcade version being much slower as well? Awesome port!

+InsaneMultitasker Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Sound is in. Today voice at last without bugs. And some other goodies Looks and sounds great. I agree with Airshack - some of the other ports feel bogged down whereas your game seems to have a nice balance going for it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+nanochess Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Hi all. Borzork went 7 months into development to get it pretty near to the arcade including voice. I thought the effort deserved a release in cartridge but it only sold 8 units and got angry some people because they expected a ROM for free. I was somewhat surprised. Anyway after thinking it for a month, here's the ROM for your playing enjoyment. No reason to have this resting in my hard drive as I had a great pleasure learning TMS9900 assembler and the nuisances of TI-99/4A hardware and it was an interesting and curious experience in my life. Thanks! borzork_7.zip 13 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Amazing work, nanochess!!! You've built a truly excellent game and one I'm proud to have had a small part in playtesting. Thank you for contributing to our community! Hope you come back for more at some point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) Having just bought one (it got here today), I am very happy with it. Thank you for doing the programming. As one of the folks trying to ensure the availability of modern homebrew cartridges, I understand the disappointment when a major good piece of software (like yours) doesn't sell at all well. Many of the homebrews sell between 10 and 20 copies, although a few even sell as many as 60 or so, but that seems to be the upper limit. It is unfortunate that a large portion of the community seems to be focused on "free" as the only option for them to buy new software. The programmers put a LOT of time into each of their projects, the folks who build the cartridges put in a lot of time (and up-front money to buy all of the necessary components), and the online stores take on additional risk by stocking them. I prefer that the programmers see something for their work, so I buy at least one of everything (although I am often the builder, so I try and find ways to make my appreciation known to the programmer in other ways, as they will often find strange little packets from me in the mail, where appropriate to the programmer).

I was ecstatic to see the Borzork game ported over by you Nanochess. It is by far one of my most enjoyed games on the TI. Thank you for all your hard work on this game. BTW - Are you still selling cartridges if people want one? If so, how much? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam242 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 This looks really excellent but I am having trouble checking it out in emulation. Both Classic99 and Win99/4a Simulator seem to crash when I leave the first room. I didn't know about this game until I saw your status update today. I may have to pick up a physical copy!

+arcadeshopper Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Thanks again for making this game nanochess, proud to have it in my store, and wish you would consider making more stuff for the 4/a.. You've obviously got a gift for coding and games.. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+arcadeshopper Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Also works fine for me in js99er.net.. perhaps his download is corrupted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
