Wow, almost makes me want to go out and buy a 86. In fact, I think I will. j/k :-)
No, I like 86's and I'll probably take a friends to try it. Looks nice.

The screenshots look very nice! I'm sure this will make all of the TI-86 users happy.

There haven't been a hole lot of new games for the 86. This looks interesting. (I wish I had an 86!)

MWM

I thought I had an 86 once, but it turned out it was actually an 85. I didn't use it, anyway, because I had an 89 at the time (oh, wait, i still do). So now that you know my level of intelligence...

For some reason the name of this game reminds me of "Return to Castle Wolfenstein". Odd.

Same number of syllables :)

Ah yes. That must be it.

That and in the first one you have to "Escape from Castle Wolfenstien".

Actually, I don't think you are counting "alien" as 3 three syllables, which it is
Esc - Ret
ape - urn
From - To
the - Cast
Al - le
i - Wolf
en - en
Moon - Stein
Slime - ? Slime is left over.

Nice Try. :D

Ah, you are indeed correct. Sorry, my brain is totally fried. Ya, I'm officially a freshman now, and I've literally never had more work in my life. I've been working since 5:00, it's now 9:30. I am not finished.

Close enough for me!

I am guessing that his brain skipped over the word 'the'. That way, 'Slime' matched up with 'stein'.

MWM

That is exactly what I did.

Same here.

and here.

Hmm.... I'll have to see if this can be played on VTI.

-W-

This game rulez! As a fellow 86 programmer, I must say Thomas's career is amazing, and we started about the same time (I must suck or something)... Well, I have my sights set on a new game, which the genre has not been attempted on most TI's, Massive Army Strategy Engine (M.A.S.E.) which might play like Tolkien's world. Mr. Williamson would probably yawn at such a thing, but is invited to help ;) EAMS will never be inentionally deleted from my 86 :D

If you want to do some creative work rather than tedious stuff, the other program I uploaded, the Shark Patcher, allows you to totally redesign the look and feel of a game by patching it's gfx and important variables and instructions. ie, You could make Sqrx into even a mario or sonic-like game with ease, especially since you can design your own levels for that already.

Great job, Thomas Williamson!!! I've never actually heard people wishing they had an 86 before!!! :-)

This game looks GREAT, I can't wait to try it! It's nice that there are more new progs for the 86 than last year.

Hi! Your little bug in Dark Forest could be solved easily using a little trick: instead of trying to detect if you will hit a bush or something beforehand, just check if you are on a bush before you refresh the next screen. If you are, write the code to simulate an opposite movement back across the screen, never refreshing, so it appears as if they never moved (and are thus blocked) :) Not very exact, but avoids frustrating code, doesn't it? :-D This type of code is the essence of creating bugless asm programs.

You're right...that's a good idea. I'll have to add it (as well as completely redoing the gfx, maybe the rest of the game, which really sucked). Thanks!

Well, I've tried it and it's just as good as I had expected! I need some more new games for my 86 anyways, and unlike many other of the really good ones I've seen, Escape the Alien Moon Slime doesn't take up too much memory.
