Yeah I was thinking about that. Well there you go I moved it all the way up to 8th.

Ok well you guys tell me where Contra should go and I will put it on there.

Ok let me respond to that list.
Wizards: Although innovative this really has not influenced many nor has it been released yet
Dying Eyes: I have played this game and it may be popular and it may be large but I think it lacked luster and was not at all unique.
Marc the Superkid Quest: I am sorry I have never heard of that game.
Omnicalc: Yes this came before Xlib but it wasn't built for BASIC games. I believe that even if this didn't come that tr1p1ea would have still made Xlib(you would have to ask tr1p1ea though)
Contra 83: Yes I have in fact played this game but I really didn't feel it made it onto this list. I would have probaly put it at 34th or so.
Mario: This is another one that would have made it farther down the list but I think the innovation was not there like tr1p1ea's Super Smash Bros.
Harvest Moon: This was released in 2004 and clearly influenced by other games.
Zelda Test of Courage: You answered it yourself. No Zelda games were ever "finished" totally
Age of Culture: Where do you think this should fit in on the list?? I am not saying it is innovative but is it more so than the ones on the list. If so tell me which one you would replace. Plus are you talking about Age of Culture II. Cause hasn't Age of culture been done for some time now.

Thank you. But I do have one disagreement with my list   . I think Reuben's Quest should be somewhere on there since it showed that grayscale was possible in BASIC. If I had to I think I would put it in the place of Reign of Legends.

Yeah thanks. I took a shot at the 32x32 and its pretty difficult. Ill keep trying though and if I get any progress I will at least post a semi-complete sprite for the elf. I am just having a lot of trouble with his ears.
Also do you want one with his mouth open,one with it closed, and one in transition or something for talking??

The List of the Top 20 most Influential TI 83(+)/84+/SE games in TI History
This list was compiled to bring together 21 of the games that may not be the greatest or the most popular, but you can definetly see the influence in other games around now. So that means this is not based just on popularity or greatness. Now let's get started.
20. Ion shell
This may not be a game but it has definetly influenced tons of shells to flood the market in hope of getting the recognition that Ion once, and still, has held. Also without Ion a lot of the games in the list would not have been possible so I think it definetly deserves some spot in this list. It's libraries have also proved to stand the test of time as every beginner studies them, and every person builds upon them!
19. Tetris by Ahmed El-Helw
Tetris, by Ahmed, was released in 1999 and after that time a series of tetris clones in BASIC and ASM have been released with look alike graphics to this game. I think this was a staple in the TI community.
18. Block Dude
Possibly on of the most sought after games that has been remade tons of times. Remants are visible in serveral other programs that have a scent of Block Dude in them and may even tell you.
17. Street Fighter II
Street Fighter II basically displayed that fighting games were possible on the TI 83+ series. This game was ridicously innovative and have seen the likes of some games like King of Fighters 2K.
16. Megacar
Racing?? Is racing even possible on this calculator. Well Megacar proved that it was possible and more with scrolling and braking and everything else you would expect. Haven't we seen anyone use this likeness in other games like TinyCarZ. I agree TinyCarZ was much more innovative considering it has AI and better track graphics, but Megacar was first and it had full car rotation.
15. The Verdante Forest
This RPG was just crazy and showed the magnitude that could be put into a game. It killed the hearts of every programmer out there that wanted to replicate it. Amazing scrolling a very great storyline. Also there were many many sequels for this game.
14. Doom for the ti83
I know what you are saying. What happened to Gemini, and what about Wolfenstein. Doom came before both of those. Doom was a display of sheer genius even if it wasn't "ironed" out it provided fun and 3D on the calculator.
13. Grayscale Programming Package
Where would we be without this. Without Desolate or any of those other great grayscale games. This provided a rock solid foundation for FLICKERLESS grayscale programming on the ti 83+ series. It has been updated by Revsoft(Jim e) and is much more optimized, RGP, but GPP started making grayscale easy for the general public to use.
12. Space Station Pheta
Let's just admit it this is the first game to make 8x8 graphics look cool. This was the first program that I didn't spend my time thinking what the f*** is that supposed to be. Simply the best 8x8 graphics ever period.
11. Tunnel(I do not know who started it)
Tunnel provides a basis for almost every single beginner to every enter the community and it is present in almost every game that has some sort of chasing or racing or anything like that.
10. Metroid by Zeromus/CDI
This game was one of the first great Xlib platformers for TI-BASIC and was so innovative. It only got better as it went from the 1st Metroid to the 2nd Metroid which featured rising lava. Simply amazing.
9. Reign of Legends
A long and great RPG that is amazing. It has also survived three series and provided some solid basis for basic programs to come after it.
8. Contra 83
Considered influential by the general public and thought to have deserved a position on this list.
7. Real Sound v1.0
We all knew sound was possible on the TI 83 Plus but we didn't know it was possible to be this good. Real Sound was awesome and we all know it.
6. USB8X
USB8x unlocked a door to the future that has only been harnessed a little bit. It has not yet been fully taken advantage of, but I think some day we will see the true ability of this crazy technology.
5. MSD8x
Yes yes yes yes MSD8X provided some proof of what USB8X could do and this was an amazing feat at that. I love this program. Simply love it.
4. Xlib
Xlib. What can you say about Xlib except that it is the basis of some of the greatest TI-BASIC games to every grace our community. Without this where would basic games be. The list goes on forever of what games would not be here if Xlib wasn't. Best TI-BASIC library ever no argument about it!
3. uHz
Sorry I couldn't use the real character but this was a hardware display that was crazy and mind-boggling. If anyone could replicate this I would offer them 1 million dollars. Ben brushed it off like it was no thing to program but simple trigonometry, but this still treated us to more than expected. Pure z80 greatness.
2. Acelgoyobis
Possibly the most innovative game ever made for the TI 83+ family but not the most influential. Who ever though pinball was possible. Well this game displayed that anything was possible. It broke the barriers that no one had ever crossed over. I fought over putting this at number 1 but it was simply not as influential as #1.
1. Phoenix
We all knew that this was coming. Every one knows this is the most influential game. From Fire Track to thousands of Phoenix ASM clones flooding ticalc.org every week. You can't deny this game at all. There are even BASIC ports of this game. I would say that Phoenix clones make up a good %10 of the ticalc.org files.
Some notables:
Zelda by Spencer: This game has not been released yet but it is still notable.
68K games: Some of these may have possibly influenced some z80 games
MirageOS: This had an updated GUI and updated libraries compared to Ion.
Well that's all she wrote folks.

I make my sprites in Micrsoft Paint. What do you make yours in??
609
« on: April 27, 2007, 02:56:00 pm »
well yeah it should be because ix is supposed to be a replacement wherever hl is and de, and bc aren't. And there would be problems with jr (a) since somone could unsign a and make it 255 instead of between 128 and -127 so yeah.

Wow dude that's awesome. Why is your background green though??
611
« on: April 27, 2007, 10:41:00 am »
Oh yeah your right Fallen_Ghost heh good catch. :thumb: Isn't it kind of self explanatory that jp (ix) would work since jp (hl) works   Oh yeah and just in case you didn't know or wanted an eaiser way to find if a command works then you could just look in TASM80.tab
612
« on: April 27, 2007, 10:17:00 am »
yeah I like yours too
613
« on: April 27, 2007, 10:14:00 am »
Well still though who really needs LogIn on a calculator. Its not like your hiding porn... are you _3fg?? Hahaha just kidding. But yeah why is Startup 2 pages cause if thats the case then DoosCS should be 4 pages.
614
« on: April 27, 2007, 09:03:00 am »
First off its not there because it is old. And also it was never an app. He was talking about Wizards becoming an app. Which is on revsoft.
615
« on: April 27, 2007, 08:43:00 am »
Well if it is 2 app pages then there is no need to look for it!!!
And what the h*** TI is ridicously. I have not seen one TI app that is not 2 pages. Even the simplest of things aren't even 1 page. I think they store their data on one page and all the code on another page just to be stupid. That's idiotic to have so many 2 paged apps.
Ok I researched it and yes it is called CellSheet and is 3 pages. I am going to compile a list of all their apps with their pages value and then post it later on.
Area Formulas - 1 page
Cabri? Jr. - 4 pages
Catalog Help - 2 pages
CBL? Chem/Bio Application - 2 pages
CBL? Physics App - 2 pages
CBL? System Experiment Workbook Application - 2 pages
Cellsheet - 3 pages
Chinese Help - 5 pages
Conic Graphing - 2 pages
Decimal Defender - 1 page(This should not even be an application at all)
Fundamental Topics in Science - 3 pages
Geomaster? - 4 pages
Guess My Coefficients - 1 page(This should not even be an application at all)
Inequality Graphing - 1 page(This should not even be an application at all)
LearningCheck - 2 pages
Logic Ladder - 1 page
LogIn - 1 page(This seriously should not be an application)
World Geography - 3 pages(Do we not have an application in the TI community that does this with less than 3 spaces!!!)
