ti99iuc Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) Hello, I have published on ti99iuc a lot of Jim Beck's Games developed in the eighties discovering a real talent for the time! Lot of the games has been also compiled from @tmop69 recently. Could someone tell me some details on him please? I had no luck to find informations on google/internet/CADD. I just found that at the time he was a younger guy (about 18 years old) but I haven't the right range of the years when he created all these games. David Lovering wrote that he met him in person and was really fast in developing in C99 or BASIC/XB and he used FREEWARE method hoping to collect some money to purchase some hardware for his TI-99/4A because he only had a stock system. Who knows some additional information about him? I would like to read and know more, please. In the meantime I also played the game: Ninja I had fun time to play with it and discovered a so large game! 80 locations and fully action in a nice graphic. I finished it and also created a complete MAP of all the dungeon! If you are interested you can find the hi-res of the MAP in the .zip that I have assembled for the game: - NINJA .ZIP DOWNLOAD Edited March 30, 2022 by ti99iuc 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixelpedant Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Seems he got his start with Dungeons of Krung when he was only 12. This is from November 1984 (Edmonton newsletter): His work in BASIC is certainly inspired. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ti99iuc Posted March 31, 2022 Author Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) Thanks @pixelpedant, so, theoretically, if he was 12 years old in 1984... presumably he was born in 1972.... today he should be 50 years old! he might still be around somewhere... who knows? I always love being able to track down people today who had lived so actively during those years and learn about their history.
