Celebrating Calculator Gaming
Posted by Michael on 21 April 2007, 01:07 GMT

Brady Mayes (DigiTan) has created a video montage of calculator games from the past ten years of TI calculator programming. His creation, featuring the work of 68 programmers, is on YouTube. Even after having seen so many of the games before, watching them combined into one movie is absolutely amazing. It is very rewarding to see the hard work and quality output of so many calculator programmers over the past decade.

The "00:40 *Unknown Kirby Project--unknown" is a small demo i created, then Vincent Jünemann edited it adding collisions :).

Never really went anywhere though, though Vincent has been working on a b&w kirby game.

Thank you!

Yep. There are a few projects that were out just days or weeks prior. I also had an eye on Fishy, Grayscale Minesweep and three others but couldn't get them in without slowing the song down.

You know, I was surprised to see Donut Quest II. What were the other 3 you had an eye on? I didn't see any hybrid basic games...maybe Bowling or the link in this URL.
If anything there should be like a 2-second clip of Contra...

chipmaster's Double Dragon, nitacku's Bowling, and Necro's Puzzle are also in my folder. I was even looking at ranman's Ultima V screen from omnimaga, but went with spellshaper's "Metroid." I think he did both of those pics and a later version if it appears in another youtube video. :)

I started out with a "one game, one clip" theme and figured more newcomers would recognize the awesome Contra titlescreen. (Although there IS one game that appears twice)

Yep. Last year I stumbled across Kia's work and said: "Whoa! Is that thing for REAL?" I IMed the gif to a few non-TI guys and they got a real kick out of it. Kia's first demo also appears near the climax of the song at 02:52.

There's another youtube video called "TI83-demo : Two By Two/Noice." The graphics on these things are really getting out of hand! :)

And thank you for honoring me with including a bit of my game with it. That means a lot to me and I really appreciate it!

MtSQ is really big game over at UTI. IAmACalculator recommended it last year and I've been hoarding the files ever since. Now if only I had a TI-83+ (D'oh!).

Great work Digitan! I love the soundtrack! It looks like you spent a long time on this project. Amazing things... our little calculators. Can they really do all of that?

Btw... Thanks for the plug on International Karate!
