I don't know how obscure this is, but I never found it before: http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/400/40091.html
Interesting, I'll have to try this out at one point.
It was featured on ticalc, I think.  It is quite a fun game.

Gah I quoted the wrong post again x.x. My bad. I meant to quote http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/378/37822.html .

Invalid Tangram DE was indeed featured. Nice game too.

Ah, that explains it.  That game does indeed look interesting, though.

I never tried that one. I was afraid it would be a bit too simple despite the 3D or choppy framerate. Is it the case?

Also there's Glasscars that was quite fun, although it seemed a bit glitchy and hard to control at times. http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/126/12690.html

I don't know.  It had a good review...   I tried it once, and don't remember if I liked it or not\

EDIT: It's actually decent.  Certainly the best coaster game I've seen for an 83+

I have never heard of that. Ever. ;D
The reviews don't look so good, but maybe I'll try it.

Well the gameplay is a bit strange but I like it, it's like a RPG-TBS.

I remember that. I think it was featured on the old Omnimaga website, but I don't remember if it's in the downloads section or not. It was the first 83+ ASM RPG in a while back then.

On request from zTrumpet, here are the games on my calc:

Airplane - already mentioned
Bubble - Bubble Breaker, like the app for windows phones
Cave - Cave, don't touch the bottom, top, or the boulders
Imposble - The Impossible Game, My best game, super addictive
Mario - Mario, you've all seen it, this is just for nonmembers who find this list
Megaball - Mega Ball, this is the best paddle and ball game I've seen. I attached a hacked version that allows saving and another power up. I won't put it on ticalc though because the original author even had the file encrypted 0.0
Missile - The Missile Game 3d, you're a missile, fly through the holes in the walls
Orbit - Orbit, there are these balls orbiting you and you have to get to the square
Phoenix - Phoenix, same with Mario, the best galaga type shooter
Progresn - Progression, ok so I figured out how to make tunnel games really fast, I like it better than fTun, but its not great
Tank - Indestructo Tank, You're an indestructible tank, bounce off of the bullets and helicopters
TetrisM - Tetris Marathon, grayscale and better than zTris (at least I think so)
Unclewrm - Uncle Worm, well known, but still a great snake game
zKart - zKart, another tunnel type game, it's a lot more fun when you receive it with a 1824 highscore on it

Wow, that took a while, hopefully this will hope some poor kid someday.

Edit by ZTrumpet to replace wrong links in Bubble and ZKart. :)

Here's Fishy by Iambian (as geekboy mentioned), with source included. http://ourl.ca/4822  I was lucky enough to get this off UTI around 18 months ago; I've had it one my calc ever since. ;D

Thanks ThePenguin!  I'm going to try those games that I've never had, which is surprisingly a lot. ;D

Edit: Everyone needs this game on their calc: http://ourl.ca/6173
