Good Calculator Rpgs?
« on: October 22, 2012, 05:35:11 pm »
What are some good calculator rpgs to play?  I've already gone through the popular ones, dying eyes, desolate, etc.

Also, when I play swordmaster: the warrior it says err: archived although I have everything I need in ram.

Edit: I would prefer if they had graphics.

Joltima is a pretty good one too. Some people also recommend Verdante forest, and Final Fantasy Tales of Magic. I'd also recommend checking out some of DJ_Omnimaga's RPGs. There are quite a few. The Reign of Legend Series, Ruben Quest, and the Illusiat series.

I have already played these games.  TVF didn't work, some glitch where I couldn't win any fights.  I've played all of DJ_Omnimaga's games. I really like reuben quest, spent many hours playing in math class; although my teacher may be on to me. He is Kevin Oullet, Wow, never knew that.  Joltima I'm still working on.  I don't really like it.  Did Kevin Oullet make any other games, are the illusiat series any good although they have no graphics?  

Thanks.

Have you played ROL3? (If you did, kudos for you for surviving dat speed)
Illusiat series are fantastic. I prefer 11.

Yea, for Illusiat, I've only played the most recent one, (which iirc is missing the final boss) and it was quite nice. ^^

Okay, I will try illusiat 11.  Are there any websites that have good calculator rpgs besides cemetech, ticalc, and omnimaga?

Anyone who stayed around long enough to program an RPG was more than likely a member of one of those communities (especially ticalc). Also, check out Shadow of Nárkemen. There was also a sequel which was pretty much finished. Unfortunately, somehow it never got released and seems to have disappeared from the internet. And you didn't like Joltima? I think that's one of the most polished games (not just RPGs) ever made for the ti calcs!

(EDIT: Searching for "Shadow of Nárkemen", google suggested "shadow of naked men" :P)

The Illusiat 11 series lacks a bit in graphics but they have a quite good lenght compared to a lot of other calc RPGs in general (assuming you play the last 5 or so). Also Illusiat 7 and 12 are incredibly hard. I had a few RPGs with better graphics but they're much slower and larger (or shorter in the case of Reuben Quest). The Reign of Legends 2 is probably my most complex game, but you better play it in French if you speak it, because the English translation is brutal. Otherwise for other people games there is Joltima but there are no magic spells which can make it quite repetitive. Dying Eyes is quite nice too if you don't mind grinding. These two are smaller than my calc games. There is also FFTOM series which are short but rich in graphics.

Shadow of Narkemen is nice as well but unfortunately there is no TI-83+/84+ version that I remember. It's only for the older 83. I didn't like Swordmasters because its amount of content and lenght doesn't come close to match its size. (It only has like 5 maps even though the game is 65 KB). Besides that there are also Ash:Phoenix and Embers:Phoenix demos which are short but still quite fun to play.

You should also play The Core of Light demo when you get a chance. Passing the security guards at the beginning makes winning The Game look easy, though. >.<

And of course Desolate (although it isn't really a real RPG). Sadly there aren't a lot of calc RPGs that got finished, though. While they're by far the easiest TI-BASIC games to code (due to speed not being as important), they are some of the hardest to plan and takes a ridiculous amount of time to finish, and sadly most people who attempted one were new to programming taking on projects that were way too ambitious for them.

Also, i don't know how i forgot it, but there's also "Marc: The Superkid Quest"! And does Shadow of Nárkemen really not have an 83+ version? Wasn't it part of that Detached Solutions app contest in 2000 or 2001? Ahhh Kerey, why didn't you release the source?!

I don't remember exactly, but on his site there was no 83+ version early on. If there was one released publicly shortly afterward then I might have missed it.

Do you mean the one by Harper Maddox or something? There was one using Lines and Pics to draw maps if I remember.
