If you haven't seen it yet, Castlevania: Prelude of Chaos was ported to the PC (https://www.omnimaga.org/ti-calculator-programming-and-support/i-ported-my-ti83-asm-castlevania-game-to-pc!). This game was originally for the 82, 83, and 83+ series of calculators, as seen on ticalc (https://ticalc.org/archives/news/articles/14/142/142854.html). The port is an interesting technological feat, where an interpreter was written to handle system calls, keyboard, and controller input. The port also includes a new original soundtrack.

You can find the game on itch.io (https://martinbousquet.itch.io/castlevania-prelude-of-chaos)

I tried this again for the first time in 13 years (original thread: https://www.omnimaga.org/ti-z80-calculator-projects/castlevania/ ) and it's very fun and true to the NES games. I didn't go far this time too, however. I personally liked Simon's Quest style so I'm glad this game followed its style too. :D

Also nice to see his 2007 posts added to his new account.

Huh, I bet we could use a calculator as a keyboard for this.

This is the kind of meta we didn't know we needed.

I just found my old TI-83 calculator from school and thought i should catch up a little bit.
Its amazingly more advanced than i thought it would be.
