TI-86 archives

After long anticipation, it's finally here! This MegaMan sure is the best looking TI-86 game ever. And if that isn't enough already, you also get a great MegaMan game, with 12 levels and bosses, 9 weapons, five endings, and more. All files together are over 70kB (!), but the levels are optional, so you can show off with just 20kB or so.. Definitely a game to at least see. The game is pretty smooth and certainly enjoyable (until you've finished it a few times (see all endings in all difficulties ;))

An OK game in which you have to get the diamonds without walking on the mines. Since you can't see the mines, the only way to finish the game is to either be very damn lucky, or play it so often you know where the mines will be. Btw: it creates sounds!

Pretty weak minesweeper. It's got a timer, but doesn't store best time(s), graphics are too basic, blanks are not automatically cleared, sometimes you start on a mine, you can't see the square you're on...... need i go on? Go with another clone (Minesweeper85 or Demineur for example)

It's a waste of time to download this. Your guy has to reach the exit in a limited number of moves. The controls and graphics suck, and levels (just 5) are too easy to even call this a game.

Nibbles in five speeds, nine levels. Misses score and peas-left display during game. Saves hiscore with initials (entering name sucks and the same score for all speeds).

Another Nibbles, again with five speeds, ok controls, large snake; but just four levels, no score and no lives. Not a very good game.

Overall it's a nice Nibbles game (something I haven't seen that in any other Nibbles-games yet is that score decreases over time.) Levels are like in the original Nibbles. Unfortunatly it's also got several imperfections. Speeds are too fast (even at the slowest speed level 10 is undoable) and they make no difference in scores. Moving backwards by accident kills yourself, and in level 8 you run right into a wall when you start. These things really should be fixed.

Nice Nibbles clone, with some very good (greyscale) graphics. Controls are okay (except for the main menu: that mouse pointer thing sucks!), it's got a teacher key (save+quit), and a hiscore table (needs backspace for entering names though.) Levels are ok, it's just that they take too long: 25 apples per level. The ability to start in higher levels and speed options are a bit pointless when playing for hiscore. Also a bit large, but still quite good.

Fishing?? On a calculator? This sucks. Horrible graphics, and a game unworthy of even trying to understand.

Small easy to use password protection program. Prompts a customizable password (upto 15 chars long) upon calc activation. If entered incorrectly, it turns the calc back off. Doesn't work when you turn your calc off using some shell.

Win the game by ending up with more pieces than the computer. You can add one each turn, and all computer pieces between that new one, and any of your other pieces will become yours as well. It's not like Othello: you don't have to jump, and no diagonal moves. I really think the Othello rules are more thought out (better strategy). But there's already a perfect Othello game, so... Anyways, after winning a level, you go to the next (not much more difficult) level. Should at least have a 2-humans mode.

Another classic by Patrick: pacman! Several levels, hiscore table, two speeds. However... the enemies are dumb and I think nine lives is too much (makes one game take too long, and saving doesn't work on my calc).

Rules are like in any Nibbles, eat the peas and get larger. The difference with any Nibbles, is that your worm can go any direction it wants, just by turning left/right, which feels much better. It looks great, plays great, and rules Nibbles!! You'll keep playing to beat the hiscore. And look at that size! One disadvantage: just one level. (That's why I'm continuing Scabby's project with Wormy btw, coming soon)

Oldskool Centepede. Just shoot the damn crawlies. Also featuring spiders and fleas. Too bad the pause key is buggy, the intro thing cannot be skipped, and... no hiscores! This game gets quite annoying if there's nothing to beat.

A puzzle game not unlike Brix/Vexed. Push two identical blocks onto each other and they disappear. You'll find some exceptions to this (two triangles for example make an unmovable brick). Nice game with save feature. The only thing to be improved is more levels! But seems they're already working on external levels..

A platform game where you can not kill anything but yourself. I played it several times but I just can't get over the jumping ugly at the beginning. According to the readme the levels start extremely hard (yea I saw) and get easier later on, which doesn't seem right to me. (on-calc level editor available)

Your guy has to eat all smileys and get to the exit. In some levels you have to get keys, or sneak behind enemies' backs, or walls appear out of nowhere. Graphics are in greyscale (tile-based however). Just 4 (external) levels so gets boring real soon... for now.

The best periodic table I could find. Featuring symbol, name, weight, boiling/melting point, first ionization energy and oxidation states for each atom (112). Atoms are searchable by name and number. Uptodate and pretty small.

Arrite! This new version has both a hiscore table as well as a shield indicator. It sure is 200x better! Also got three difficulty levels plus three speeds (of which easy+slow is too simple: this option kinda ruins the need to play it alot to beat the game). Could use more levels.

ROFL! Press the arrow once and the flipper will go up. Press it agian and it will come down. There is no ball yet. I'm still working on it. No comments :))

Pong, complete enough. Human vs. human/AI/wall or AI vs AI demo. Five speeds, five difficulties, and 3-11 lives limit. Still a bit too boring (there are better games).

Steer a ball over a three dimensional plane, without falling through the holes (by jumping over them). It would be better if up/down would change the speed (where faster would give more points) instead of just start/stop. Also hi-score should be saved for every level. Nice game though.

Like in his Archery game, you have to shoot at a moving target at the top. In Poke however, there are other moving objects which you may not hit. Too bad the hiscore feature didn't work, because otherwise it's a good game.

A skate-game much like Bored Generation. Although this game's an alpha release and thus incomplete, I doubt a game based on this can be any good. The graphics couldn't be worse, controls are slow, collision detection sucks... Don't download it.

No, this was not written in TI-Basic, although it sure looks that way. The only difference is that it's a bit faster. But the controls are bad, and it's huge (almost 10kb with help files deleted!) The game itself is pretty basic as well (get all phis without getting cought by the random moving Xes).
