Title: Reuben Quest: Ev Awakening AXE
Post by: Geekboy1011 on May 16, 2014, 03:14:15 pm
Back in 2004 DJ Omnimaga (http://www.omnimaga.org/profile/DJ_O/) released his grayscale BASIC RPG "Reuben Quest: Ev Awakening". Just a bit of time ago now member Sorunome (http://www.omnimaga.org/profile/Sorunome/) finished his port of the game to the AXE Parser Language. This port of the game is a Single Page Application + a few archived data files in size. This means it requires less then half the space of the original to run! This port also works on the original 83+ which the original did not!

So get ready to play as Rueben and fight evil monsters, solve some puzzles, and save the island!
    Download the game on ticalc.org (http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/459/45993.html)

Correction: The original did run on the regular 83+. It just looked like crap and ran awfully slow :P

Also, wouldn't it be better to use a screenshot from the gameplay (preferably a small one, even if it means a static GIF) to showcase it to those viewing the front page? A screenshot of the in-game menu is not a big seller. :P

That's what sorunome gave me I can spruce it up in a moment.

Edit: Done!

Wow, the screenshot given looks pretty cool! If it were not for the fact that the TI-84+CSE had a different screen resolution, I would totally download and play this game! (http://forum.pixbits.com/images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)
(Note: All smilies that I use that aren't familiar come from a different forum that I'm a member of, under the same name)

I really meant in-game gameplay, though :P (eg walking around, opening the menu once and doing one battle)

This is pretty awesome! I can't wait to see the speed and the nostalgia since I played the original. :)

By the way, good job for the 135 downloads in a week (stats are broken since ticalc.org moved the file to a different directory, but they fixed the overall download count). Many featured programs tend to not get that many nowadays unless it's the start of school year.

Shame my download ain't in that count. ._. Fixing that now.

Keep in mind that TI-Planet uploads dozens of school notes/exam infos on a daily basis, though, so the file got off the latest files list very fast, not to mention most TI-Planet users go there for educational programs rather than games, let alone RPGs, which aren't popular in France.

For RPGs they only come to get a copy of Pokémon. :-°

Indeed. But yeah aside from that RPG historically never were much popular on French calc forums. I think it's because most big SNES RPG hits only came out in North America and Japan (although for Terranigma you were luckier than us)
