68k basic game in Archives?

stefan bauwens 30 Jan 2013 19:25

I visited TI-BD front page and as always it showed 5 random programs out of the archive, or so I thought.
Because I notice this basic game( http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/97/9769.html ). I clicked on it which led me to the archives, where I didn't seem rightaway to find the file. Also , it says 83+ files archive.
So could someone clear it up for me? :P

I dunno, but I have been annoyed with the something happening to me :( maybe they can change it so it goes to the game you clicked?

Some of these games are only on the ticalc archives, anyways.

If I changed the link for each screenshot so that it goes to the associated game, that would take people away from the site which I think is counterproductive. In addition, some of the games are not even available on the Internet, such as Kevin Ouellet's Diortem and Flash Flash Revolution.

The purpose of the screenshots on the homepage is to highlight the best TI-Basic-based games that have been created over the years by the TI community, which includes games created on all of the various TI graphing calculators. Thus, that is why you see Philip Ringsmuth's Legend of Zelda among the screenshots. I didn't add those games to the archives since they are not mine, but thought they would be effective in getting more exposure for the archives (which seems to have happened :D).

Oh, okay. But perhaps you should add an 68k basic archive as well?

Yeah, that would be a good idea… We don't really have many 68k coders on the site, so I'm not exactly sure where we would get programs to fill it. I'm curious, what are your favorite 68k programs?

Well, my 2 most favorite BASIC 68k gamesare already shown in the bar(Phil Ringsmuth's Zelda and Final Fantasy Destination).
My other favorite 68k games are:

• Super Mario 68k
• Bomber Dude
• Doom 89(never finished it though)
• GTA Sin City(just a good game)
• Another Mario
• Bombermaze
• Metroid(never finished it also though)
• Counter Strike
• …

I know it's quite a big list(and all games), but actually I don't consider myself a gamer. Also , it has already been quite a while I played a game.

Did you learn about those two Basic 68k games from the homepage nav bar? Unfortunately, I don't have a 68k calculator, so I've never been able to try any of those games — they look really amazing, too :/

No, I didn't. I found them both on ticalc.org . :)
Yes, they're both one of those games that "push TI-Basic to the end of it's possibilities". The one is a demo though(zelda), but still amazing.

Yeah, that's what it looked like. I think Myst is also a very good TI-Basic game, so would you mind if I used a screenshot of it on the homepage? If yes, would you create an animated image of the game?
