Josh Morris of Macross Software has released a demo of his upcoming game, Final Fantasy: The Calling for the TI-85 (ZShell). This will be a fighting RPG based on the characters from Squaresofts's Final Fantasy VII. Features will include the same basic fight engine from FFVII, summons, spells, items, and more. This game is a must for anyone who has played Final Fantasy VII.

Wait a minute... I was here about 5 minutes ago, and there was a screenshot for a Zelda game... Can't remember right now what it was called... it was for the 85... What happened to it, TiCalc?

That news article was deleted because the screenshot displayed appeared to be a copy of someone else's.

IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT THE ZELDA PIC!!!

Funny thing about that zelda screenshot is that its probably fake! Ive seen it like a zillion times. The one Macross Software has is at

http://members.xoom.com/CashOnly/pages/projects.html#zelda

Now, im not saying that Macross Software is lying, but sometimes developers put up target images that show what the end program should look like, but most likely that image is ~not~ a screenshot. Macross Software still makes great games like the Quest games for the 85. The only 2 programs that actually create that picture is the zelda 83 demo and the zelda 89 beta (which i have a copy of). Zelda 83 seems to have silently died, but CCIA is currently making zelda 89. To see the target screenshot for zelda 89, which may be ported, for all you 86/85 owners (including me) who are salivating, goto:

There are still a few elements missing, but link is implemented. If you own an 82 or 83, well, pray that the previous owners of the Zelda 83 project will feel interested again. The Zelda 83 site is:

Wasn't there also a Zelda 82 beta? Messed up my calc a trillion times but looked very smooth.

PORT to the 86
ti-86 owner

Pleez pleez port this game to the TI-86
or if you can't, please make it Rascall/ASE compatible, on a ti-86. I LOVE the idea

Nope, 86 emulation only handles programs under 12k. This one is 18k, so we TI-86 folks are SOL. Can someone PLEASE port this!! I've been waiting for forever and 29 days for any FF stuff for a calc. Thanks!!

do you have that much free time that you would play FF on a CALCULATOR??? Why not just play the other ones on a console or computer?????

I believe i speak for all the students who have nearly faded into a coma in ( fill in with bio, chem, trig, etc )...

YES!

Well, "Jimmy," we people who are in the BIG schools get bored easily. No, I don't just sit around, waiting for FF for the calc, but it sure would be nice to have to pass the time in trigonometry, physics, AP English, etc.

You think squaresoft is going to threaten to sue Josh over copyright infringement like what happened with monoploy? Let's start taking bets.

I bet 1.8e13 dollars that they do

I highly doubt it. Monopoly was very close to the commercial versions of it. This on the other hand is not even near the real game as far as 3D (I think, unless there's a 3DFX-TI).

Hehe. A 3dfx TI...Its a nice thought. Of course, then the calc would be huge, and cost a bundle. Oh well. I can dream...

Gee, 3dfx? Thought that was what the 92+ module did? *sto, sag* Better yet, a dual-processor calc! Heh. Z-160, maybe? Or, better yet, a calc with PCI slots and 12 volts of power....hmm.. AWE64 for speaker emulation, 3dfx for greyscale, there are so many thoughts.

(None of this is a serious suggestion, by the way!)

I'll get in on that, there's definitely going to be some crap going down. Grab the demo while you can!!!

SquareSoft doesn't have time to mess with what is being copied off of their games. Hasbro is a poor company that is just looking for money, and the closest they can get is by sueing people. I bet they just slap him on the wrist as the maximum penalty, but I surely doubt they would even see it possible that a 28K calculator can hold what they put on 3 CDs (so they just won't bother to even check).

What is the deal with it not working with Rascall? I tried it, but it just says that it's too big. Is there anyway to get around it?

Wait a Minute...
The Notorious Computerman

Something smells fishy here... maybe I'm just paranoid after what just happened with the supposed Zelda game. I tried the demo... it seemed an awful lot like just a ported TV ad for FF7. Also, this "game" is made by the same group (Macross Software) that was claiming a Zelda game... and the link to their page doesn't work. Is it just paranoia, or do I smell a rat?

The Final Fantasy: The Calling demo is more of a promo, and is a fmv from the original FF7, not a commercial. It takes advantage of Erik Huzing's movie engine. The game will not be a fmv, nor copied from any source. The fmv was also original, just the same comcept of the square fmv.

The Legend of Zelda: Reckoning Time is not a myth. The game is under heavy production. If you want to see the screenshot, or view any information, visit the page. If ml is down, visit: http://members.xoom.com/CashOnly/Macross.html
