People like to create their own ideas for games.  If you know the 
author's e-mail address contact him/her and ask for it to be ported to 
the 83.  I am in the process on learning Z80 assembler at the moment and 
I just ordered a really good, but expensive, book on Z80.  I know that 
there is a short TI-83 asm tutorial at Dimension-TI:
http://www.findcure.com/TI/
That will teach you a few basic commands for TI-83 assembler.  The only 
way to really learn it well is to find a book on Z80 assembler and study 
the source code to programs, games, etc.
