Contra 83 finally makes it... 5.5 years later...
« on: August 24, 2010, 12:21:47 am »
What was probably the biggest United-TI hit (and one of the best BASIC game) has finally been featured on ticalc.org, 5.5 years after many requests to get it featured:

Late congrats to the author and nice job to our new ticalc.org news editors!

For the nostalgics, the old project sub-forum can be found there:

O.O that has to be the most delayed feature on ticalc to date :P
I'm glad it got featured though. Contra is a true pure-BASIC masterpiece.

Nice. This is definitely going on my "games to play" list :D
It looks awesome, especially given the language.

Edit: 900th post!

Not really. I think Laser Tank does, according to the file ID. Otherwise, maybe it's FFTOM2, which took 8 years.

Too bad it came so late. The author's given up calc programming already D:

So no Contra II :(

Haha well either way, i just realized, i might also have to release a hacked version of Contra itself since it doesn't actually support custom levels. D:
