+dhe Posted April 9, 2023 Author Share Posted April 9, 2023 Trifecta! Somehow, through time and space, I had ended up with two boxed Q*berts and two boxed POPEYES and no boxed FROGGER. I finally fixed that after about 8 years of searching. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish Parker Brothers had done all the Atarisoft conversions, somehow. Best looking, best playing, best boxes of the classic era, right here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wound up with two really, really nice Frogger CIB while collecting for my Frogger corner (I have all eight of the Parker Brother cartridge releases, plus a couple extra.) I have lamented not picking up the other TI-99 Parker Brothers titles back when I could get them for a steal. 2 hours ago, InfernalKeith said: Best looking, best playing, best boxes of the classic era, right here. Agreed 100%. PB conversions on the TI-99 are top-notch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewmacattack Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Added a few more ALA Software titles to my collection. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ti99iuc Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 (edited) Very nice! could be so cool if you could dump these games but as I understand from you, it is impossible to have them preserved. Edited May 10, 2023 by ti99iuc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could try to load them from tape, save back to disk, then transfer disk to pc? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ti99iuc Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 (edited) Yes, It could be a possible way. Another easier way could be to try to load the program and save It to another empty cassette tape using the same ti99 with a recorder (this Will at least preserve any possible damage to the original support in the next steps). Then save a WAV using Audacity and so use MAME to load It and save it in a floppy disk image. Alternatively could be also sent me a copy of the tapes and then I Will do the job 😁 I also could offer to pay the shipping costs, which important is to preserve. But I already tried to do something similar with Andrew a while ago and After months of messages no success to have something preserved Edited May 10, 2023 by ti99iuc 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+dhe Posted May 29, 2023 Author Share Posted May 29, 2023 A well used console! A Lima Fair pickup. Almost all the strips + the two program cheat sheets taped to the top are for the C.O.N.N.I. BBS and Disk+Aid programs. This console has not one, but TWO buttons - and still works. Sadly - I tried to use a FinalGrom and got no response, so I cautiously popped the hood. Here is the photo's I took of some of the wiring. I looked at the Grom Port connector, and I was amazed at it's dirtiness - here are some before and after ultrasonic cleaner shots. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Than GROM connector was alive, Dan. It looks much healthier now. . . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+dhe Posted June 4, 2023 Author Share Posted June 4, 2023 Just a follow up on the console. After ultrasonic clean of the GROM port connector the Final GROM works. Also I traced down the pins on the keyboard push button - it duplicates the functionality of the FCTN key. The side button wired in to the 74LS74 is from an article by Mack McCormick, published in Micropendium that implements load interrupt. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 The rubber bumper around the load interrupt button speaks to a history of accidental presses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one of those I've seen in the wild is JetStorm - I honestly thought the rest where vaporware. There were about 20 different ALA titles for the TI that I have actually seen in the wild. A train/hobby shop in York PA had an entire display of them back in 1984-1985. I bought two titles as I didn't have a lot of cash on me at the time, and they were long gone by my next trip into York about five years later. Jet Storm seems to have been a somewhat popular ALA title, as it is one of the two I bought back then, LOL. I seriously considered Dungeon Key, but eventually chose something else instead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi I will be willing to download these and other games that have been requested, unfortunately over past 18 months I've had very little time for my hobby due to my wife diagnosed with MS and taking care of my wife as she unable to get about. Plus full time in work. I've explained this to other member unfortunately looking at some posts it comes across I'm not willing to help out, which is not the case. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ti99iuc Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 @Andrewmacattack I do not feel like arguing about what you claim. I should describe more precisely the reason for my comment to which you are alluding. But I think it is misplaced and superfluous now after your comment. However, I am sorry for the situation you describe. I wish you all the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+dhe Posted December 23, 2023 Author Share Posted December 23, 2023 Twenty Years!! That's how long it took me to find an Milton Bradley cart in box, but GoodWill came through @ $10 ! 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Does it have the nice silver-foil paper tray in the box too? Those seem to be the most likely parts of these sets to be lost. That is a nice, pristine copy of Hangman though--super crispy label! Hangman seems to be one of the harder ones to find the box too (with Connect Four being the easiest), so double-bonus. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+dhe Posted December 23, 2023 Author Share Posted December 23, 2023 I realized, someone might wonder, why the label *ON THE BOTTOM* of the cartridge, it's for completing the out of box experience. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Nice, the box is truly complete. Those don't show up often at all. . . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
