                  Bored Generation:    by James Rubingh

  "Bored Generation" is a skateboarding game, almost, 
  it's plain though, but at least it is a game. :)  
  This is my first game in assembly so it is quite simple, 
  You just "Bust a funk" over moving Trash Cans as they fly in from 
  the right. 
   Controls are really easy and visuals are kindof cool (check
  out the gun on his shirt! BANG! BANG! Ha! Ha!). 
  I am a skateboarder myself and I thought, "my as well make a game." 
  The actual gameplay is pretty shitty, I hope to make a new and improved
  version soon.
  P.S. I think the name is C00l! I was skating the other day when 
        some people my age (16) were taking a break. I thought "man, 
       I sure am bored. My whole generation is bored..."

 AShellE (ASE) identification was added, I figured with over 96k on the ti-86, 
 you could spare the few bytes to add the comment at the shell screen.

 2ND    = ali       (jump over Trash Cans)
 F1     = kick flip (spin the board under you)
 ARROWS = move the guy
 EXIT   = Hmm...

  Kick flips are a little difficult. you have to press F1 while
  the man is on the way up. They can also be done off Trash Cans!
  
  PERSONAL GOALS
  -some day meet Jimmy Mardell, and shake his Bad Ass hand.
  -some day meet Jimmy Mardell, and ask him a load of Questions.
  -some day meet Micheal Pearce (Solytare) and skateboard with him a while.
     the only calc programmer that I know of, who skateboards.
  -program a game as cool a SQRXZ, or Solytare on the calculator.
  -get a modem, E-mail address, so I dont have to use the internet at 
    school all the time.
  -stop smoking (doubtful).  :)-~
  
  Have fun playing. I would put an E-Mail address here, but I dont have a 
  modem, or a good computer. Sorry.
  And this is what Trash cans look like in the U.S.A., I dont know what
  they look like anywhere else. :)
