atari2600land's Blog - Games on calculators

[RSS Bot]

Here's a fresh new idea blending calculators and video games (and when I mean "fresh" I mean "stupid".) Introducing Calcgames! Now, since I don't have the ability to reprogram calculators, I've put my ideas onto Atari 2600 emulators. And since these are to be played on calculators, they're not all that in-depth. In fact, they're more time-wasters than games. This first one, Eat Man, is you feed the mouth by pressing right, but only when the mouth is open. There are two faster levels. In case you have no idea what I'm talking about, here's a calculator configuration:

That's the number 8 on a calculator, which uses all 7 lines. The way calculators are set up is they only display numbers, but with a configuration like that, they could also make symbols and stuff, like the ones in this binary file.

My idea may be stupid, but it's also new and weird. Take a look. Press up to start.
