TI-86 games

The best-looking checkers ever. Too bad it's two-player/single-calc only, a singleplayer option (AI) would be nice. Also the board-flipping thingy should be an option.

Tic-tac-toe human vs. terrible TI-AI only. It's pretty hard... to lose. Even has a bug: lines are not always detected! C'mon everybody, keep the ttt games to yourself!

A simple yet very playable video poker game. No special options and stuff, but all the basics are well done. A very nice game, though it could use some more options (hiscore?)

Stop a line moving right at the position of the block, then stop the line moving down. If it misses, you're game over. It saves a hiscore with initials. Good if you've got nothing better to do.

Plays abit like the classic pong. Prevent the bouncing ball from hitting the ground on your side, volleyball rules apply. You can move and jump, and it's pretty nice. It sure misses the 2-player option :(

You have to fire an arrow right into the moving black box at the top. But since it always moves the same way, this is not very hard and gets really boring after a few minutes.

Classic Arkanoid (Breakout) in greyscales with (PC) level editor. Features falling thingies (score, bigger paddle, barrier at bottom, lives), three different blocks, teacher key, movement in 256 directions. Needs hiscore saving, a slow-move key and maybe more bricks.

Try not to get an icicle on your head, simple as that. At a certain point however a huge icicle-wave comes down, which I haven't been able to survive. Also no hiscore saving, and controls are plain bad. How did Ahmed do it? I mean, the TI-83 version's much smaller and quite cool (graded 75%). Luckily Avalanch83 can be emulated using Ion86.

The classic game where two players have to fire missiles at each other at exactly the right angle and speed. A nice version with a shop to buy all kinds of even better weapons. What could be improved: more movement points (you can move nearly nothing in the entire game), maybe more scenarios, a bit smaller? (AI?)

A baseball-like game when you have to hit a ball at the right moment and hope it moves right. Rules are like in real baseball (as far as possible). I personally don't really like this game: doesn't really demands skill and you don't see the guys moving (too simplified).

If you move into the house you lose, if you move down (bottom right) you win. That's all. Terrible source (large too) and does not work on ROM v1.4!

Pretty dull game where you must break as many blocks as possible. You can walk left and right, jump one block up and break blocks left, right and below you. Getting a hiscore requires more luck than skill.

A nice puzzle game. Get your guy to the exit (door). You can climb up just one block, so to get higher, you have to use the boxes lieing around. Levels get really hard!! This may cause severe mental and calculator damage. One note: it drains your batteries - it lacks halts - which is terrible for a puzzle-game.

Move the boxes away to get to the exit. Challenging game with 30 levels and hiscore. Graphics are in greyscale, but have a lot of flickering; I think it would look much better with plain b/w. So a good game, but bad graphics.

Classic bomberman. Place bombs, kill enemies, find exit, next level. With greyscale, several upgrades and multiplayer option (2 players one calc, or upto 4 players via link - although link didn't work on my calc ):

In Bomb Panic you actually have to go to a bomb (to disarm it I assume). To get there, you'll have to move the walls a little, and think fast since you've only got 40 seconds. 18 levels, but lacks some basic features like pause, hiscore, and the ability to begin in later levels.

Another Wac-A-Mole reflex game. Press 1-9 to whack the ghosts as fast as possible. Boo-Bash features five speeds, although you won't get any higher scores making them kinda useless if you go for the score. Also fairly large! I'd say go with Wak-A-Goomba.

Move your paddle to catch the bombs. Give it a chance, it's quite cool. It's fast and hard enough, but not too hard. This is really a game you'll want to play in lost hours to break your hiscore... but it doesn't save any hiscores!! Why, why?! 65% for the nice game; but this needs hi-saving..

You're a skating someplace with a lot of trash cans, and you have to jump over them. Another nice feature is that you can spin your board while jumping. Controls are OK. Besides that, nothing special, and no score counting. Overall: bored generation is boring (hahah...)

Just one word should do it: WOW! Bd's a diamond-game with everything it needs. The only thing that could be improved is external levels support and smooth scrolling - yes, just like in Repton - but if that would mean a size increase like in Repton, then this is perfect.

This is what I call a disgrace to assembly. You have to bounce back the ball, nothing special. No pause, no hiscores, no graphics (text-based) and a terrible game.

A bit like Sokoban with the difference that you (+) have to move the boxes onto the : where they disappear. Of course this can be pretty hard because of the obstacles. A good puzzle game, however it contains only four levels :(

The famous puzzle-game where you have to clear each level of all boxes, by placing two or more boxes of the same type next to each other. This version features the breaking stones, teleporters and lava; but there are just six (easy) levels, there's no animation, and no continue (password/save).

Yet another classic racing game. Nothing special (besides nice speed selection, and a bit large - 2kb) just terrible 8x8 pixels!

Another catch but different: your objective is to walk over as many boxes as possible within one minute. Five different speeds, not too large, but no hiscores are saved, making it a bit senseless to play.
