Did some site updates and added a demo download. Sorry no manual, I forgot to bring it home

Just checked your site. Nice work! Looking forward to Mad Marvin's Great Escape. Noticed you'll have it available in the store by end of this year.

Will it be available on "hardware" (disk or cartridge) or are you thinking about a download feature ?

That is really well done game to bad I do not have a Real TI in working order. Had to put it back in storage for lack of room.

Mighty impressive! Very, very well done sir! I love the sound effects you have put in. Also very much like the graphics and the pixel-perfect colission detection.
This is truly inspiring and wanna makes me write some code again.

Nothing beats assemly language if you ask me.
How did you do the graphics and sound effects? How many hours did you spent working on the game?

The board graphics were created by Magellan and further massaged and compressed by some TI XB witchcraft. Sprites and the font were created on the TI.

Sound effects and music are all created with the ASLP that is embedded in the game. Ernest Pergrem is working on an editor for the ASLP that should make creating such a bit easier.

I bet I have about 500 hours into this one.

and thanks....

What I should have said is I can't get it to run correctly on CL99. Appears hip-cup-e. Might just be my machine.

Tis a truly nice and addictive game - works fine on Classic99 since the last update and on MESS so long as you copy over to a v9t9 disk image.

This game looks great, cant wait to try it on the TI after I get back in town.

Cart isn't going to happen. The game needs the 32K to function (at least more RAM that 256 bytes.) If it were on cart it would be basically a loader into RAM like Neverlander. Doesn't seem to be a point in that IMO. It actually kind of fascinates me the love shown to Carts by TIer's. Other than needing only a console there isn't an advantage to running out of a cart on the TI (that I can think of.) In fact it only complicates things and more or less limits the programmer and the program.

What's all the love for TIer's ?

Now devious is a compliment I can wrap my head around. Thanks Walid.....

Game is available at the DSAPSC store. 21 levels and an ending.

Just bought my copy A great addition to my collection. It's really uplifting to have such high quality software still being produced 27+ years after the demise of the TI...

[acadiel]

Just bought my copy too. Glad to support such great game writers as Marc! I can't wait to play this one!
