TxtRider is an ancient program which hasn't been updated since 2000! That would be ridiculous as the POTY 2005! Also, why are "Developer Editions" and TI-92 versions of old programs allowed to run?

If you don't like a particular program, you don't have to vote for it :)

Here's again the list of authors and the forums they're mainly on. Go TICT HQ/TIGCC message board! ;-)

(*) This program advertises itself as a "Nostub Explorer", but it uses the standard AMS function to execute programs, making it essentially useless without a kernel due to the execution protections. (It only works properly if you have h220xTSR/HW2Patch/HW3Patch and IPR/KerNO or a kernel installed. Without h220xTSR/HW2Patch/HW3Patch, it crashes, without IPR/KerNO/a kernel, it can't run programs >24 KB.) The only nostub explorer actually working on current hard- and software without additional programs is the TICT Explorer.

Very Interesting Kevin for you to look into every program precisely before you vote :)

PowerComPress is very handy program especially on the 92+ and 89 due to space limitations.

It would actually be interesting to read a quick review (by you) about each of the programs.

I'm rooting for Sumo Wrestling... He-he!

Indeed, your game is great. The quotes and finish moves make it really funny.

hey, can someone tell me which files i need to send into my 89 titanium to play the sumo game?

there's so many files and i don't know which ones i need

i never got to play the sumo yet...can someone tell me?

You need to send sumo.89z and sumo.89y. Everything else is source code, which is useful for developers only.

(from the ReadMe)

1) Send the two Sumo files to your calculator
* The file 'sumo' is the program launcher
* The file 'sumodata' contains the compressed game code which is run by sumo()
2) Type sumo() in the Home entry line
3) Press ENTER to run the game
4) There will be a very short pause while the game is decompressing. This is normal and
should last one to two seconds.

I'm not sure that I tried Sumo Wrestling but I don't think that it is the sort of game that I would like. judging by the author though I am sure that it is a well done game.

You never know until you try. For instance, I thought MegaMan 86 was stupid because of the RAM requirements and slow screenshot speed until I tried it. The speed wasn't breakneck like some phoenix levels, but MegaMan 86 has it's own VTI save file :-D That was the 86 long ago - nowadays coder's are doing near miracles for a better processor with higher resolution graphics. FAT Engine is very hard to code for, but truly worth the effort as we've seen again and again. Sumo Wrestling has comical graphics, and can be very fun. Trust me, good animated greyscale sprites are harder to design than any newb can really imagine.

I know how hard it is to do gfx, I have never gotten anythink very good. I just wasn't interestd it the style of game. I have tried a few FAT games and wasn't too thrilled by them eventhough the gfx were impresive.

what style of game is it? its sumo wrestling. i dont think there is a specific style for that. lol
