tmop69 Posted May 10, 2022 Author Share Posted May 10, 2022 Today, two different versions of the strategy/board game - Black Box. One is using joystick, the other the traditional keyboard.

blackbox Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 (edited) Thanks for that one. To the best of my knowledge my version of Blackbox was the first computer version to acknowledge the inventor (and it had his consent) as well as the first computer game licensed by Waddingtons. In the USA the boxed game was later issued by Parkers. There is even a University analysis paper at https://www.math.uci.edu/icamp/summer/research/student_research/blackbox.pdf Doctor Solomon advised that he was inspired by the CAT scanner.

tmop69 Posted May 13, 2022 Author Share Posted May 13, 2022 A new compiled game. A commercial game from Lantern Software: - Hunchback Havoc. The game had a bug with timer from 2nd level (impossible to pass) that now is fixed. Moreover, now the timer on screen is decrementing (the original game has a fixed value). Added some trainer modes for timer. Read the full description on TI99IUC page (Hunchback Havoc). Have fun!

So, an update is available with an additional trainer options to disable or not the deactivation of the reactor. - Hunchback Havock V1.1.

On the Excel file in the MegaPack there is the column "I" with my (personal) rates for the games. If you then sort for column "H" (genre) you should have the top list based on your preferences. I've not rated the adventures, since I've just played the minimum to check if working fine. I was expecting some help/collaboration/engagement from the TI community here on AA to (first) test games and also to provide their personal rating, etc. but I think people are just downloading stuff. Maybe the lack of software in '80s (if compared to other platforms, eg. C64, Spectrum, etc.) has triggered off the aptitude to just "accumulate" instead of using the software... If someone here would like to provide the list of top games with the rate (1 to 10) I'll surely update the Excel file calculating the average score. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never noticed because I just download a game from time to time that sounds interesting. I will try some of the highest rated games now ? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
