Kian Vincent has released a TI-83 Plus ASM remake of the 2002 ZX Spectrum game by Malcolm Tyrrell, called MazezaM.
(http://i-lost-the-ga.me/mazezam.gif)
It is a puzzle game where you have to push blocks around to escape a serie of mazes. This version contains 25 levels, including one by the TI-83 Plus version author.
It can be downloaded in ticalc.org archives (http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/437/43753.html)!

Sweet! A new game. Now all I need is a 32-bit Windows computer.
-
Why so? ??? TI-Connect works on both 32 and 64 bit ones ???
-
But it doesn't work consistently, and TiLP uses unsigned drivers, which 64-bit Windows will not allow. :(
-
TI Connect works fine on my win7 64 bit machine, but it did require a patch(which is available on ti's website).
-
This looks like a wonderful game. I think it'll end up on my calc. :D

Actually, TI integrated the patch with it now; you can just download TI Connect and it'll work. :)

This game sounds great, and it's cool to have it on-calc, I really like this kind of intriguing puzzles.
-
@Zrtumpet: Ah, that's good to hear. TI actually did something right! O.O Ah, I really miss having a working TI-83+ family calc... Game looks cool.
-
Nice game. I think I played the NES homebrew version. That was challenging.
-
Looks challenging and fun :) I'll have to try it at some point.
And yeah, a fresh download of TI-Connect will have no problems installing on Win7 64-bit.
-
Looks like fun! :)

All you have to do is install the new 32 bit signed libusb drivers. Works like a charm. ;)

I also got it to work with TI-Connect, but I hear it only works when all the molecules in all the planets are aligned.

ooh, cool =D
this game comes standard with rockbox, so i've tried it before and some of the levels are rather challenging. from a quick test, it looks like it's a little slow, but otherwise gameplay isn't all that bad. however, i can't find any way to quit. pressing mode takes one to the title screen, from which point any key simply returns to gameplay. pressing 2nd+on, however, succesfully turns the calc off, causing weirdness/RAM clears upon restarting. this is on my recently aquired 84+ BE running os 2.30, so maybe it uses new bcalls that 2.30 doesn't support?
EDIT: i just tested it on my 84+SE running 2.43 with the same results =/
-
@Smibs, I quit by pressing [mode] to get the the title screen. From there, I pressed [2nd] [quit]. I think [2nd] [Off] does something weird to the stack.
-
I wonder if it uses the extra RAM pages?
-
I doubt it. I think it's just poorly coded, but it shows a lot of promise and is even fun in this state, if you don't mind random RAM Clears.
-
Meh. Once you've started Axing, RAM clears are a way of life.
-
Ah maybe. But yeah I agree with Freyaday lol, although some people still don't backup frequently despite that :P
-
I've since learned my lesson: Keep everything in archive, leave autobackup on, and make sure to duck.
-
Looks like a fun game! Why are all the good ASM programmers called Vincent?

No, all the good ASM programmers have names that start with B, everyone knows that!

Brian and Brandon and Brandon. Nice. :D

You forgot Ben & Ben! Shame on you! :P/me scolds Ztrumpet.

Floppus and who else?

Ben Ryves of Maxcoderz. :P

Hey, this game is quite funny: when you turn off your calc during playing, a new prog is created called "ecsasme" (in lowercases). You can't run it from the homescreen but you can archive it (RAM cleared) or run it from DoorsCS if it is unarchived (RAM cleared), or run it from DoorsCS once archived which lead your calc to a freezing state. Hopefully I try all my games on Wabbit.
Except that, this game is cool.

The ecsasme program is created by Doors CS, and has nothing to do with the game. If a game exits in an unexpected way, ecsasme is not properly removed by DCS.

Anyway, I got fun during an hour, doing RAM clears of all sorts !!
Well, it has a bit to do with the game: the game doesn't prevent you from turning off the calc.

Yep, the game is partly responsible. I'm a bit curious: In what way does it let you turn off the calc? Is it when pressing 2ND+ON while inputting text?
-
No, you do it while playing.

Hi all,
I just thought that I should put my two-penny worth in as there seems to be a little confusion about exiting the game.
Whenever I see the phrase 'RAM clear' it makes me panic.(We've all been there.)
It does state in the ReadMe file that you should exit by pressing 'Mode' to return to the title screen and then '2nd'+'Quit'.
I have always stayed away from any attempt to disable 'Off', just in case.
I hope this clears up any confusion and I'm glad that people seem to enjoy the game.

I have finally got around to solving the issue of the 'Off' key playing havoc with the calc's memory. It is now disabled during the game. As before it should be exited by using 'Quit' from the title screen.
The latest version is available here:

I hope this helps.
