I'm really sorry to hear that too CDI! Ebay has some really good deals. Maybe we could start a contribution fund for CDI. Honestly. We could set up a Paypal account that could accept donations. We could use these funds to help developers when they are in dire straits.   What do ya'll think?

Has any body read The Death Gate Cycle? It is a 7 book series by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. This novel series is begging to be an RPG! %)  What do ya'll think? Here is an excerpt found at http://members.iquest.net/~jschatte/novels.html| QUOTE |

Ultima I, II, and III would definitely fit nicely on the 83+. Ultima IV may push the memory limits of the 83+. I would recommend U3 or U4. A full implementation of Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar on the TI-83+ would be a technical achievement. That would be cool! B)  Hmmm... any takers?

You could buy VirtualPC from Microsoft (it was originally made by Connectix). It basically emulates a PC and allows you to run Windows XP within a window.   When the Intel Macs arrive, you can run both Mac OSX and Windows on them. Steve Jobs has already that said Apple will not prohibit the running of other OSs. However, OSX will only run on licensed Mac hardware. This is a very smart move for Apple. A lot of people want to buy a Mac, but they have too much invested in PC software. Now, they will be able to have the best of both worlds.

If someone would like to attempt an Ultima V remake for the Z80 calcs, I would be willing to provide all necessary game details and data. THE POST

QuoteBegin-arti+1 January 2006, 9:08 --> | QUOTE (arti @ 1 January 2006, 9:08) | | This definitely is the most complex and ellaborate calculator game yet! Since I can't wait for it, I got Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar for SMS. It's fairly complex and hard to get the hang of, but maybe that's cause I started it at 2 am. I also got Ultima 1 to 6 for C64, are those better than the NES conversions? (yay for GP32 ) |
Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar is a great game. It is still considered by most as the best classic RPG of all time. It was a quantum leap for RPGs in the 80s. Ultima IV and especially Ultima V are cumbersome on the C64. So much disk swapping. But, they are worth it. Ultima V on NES does not have the entire gameplay and storyline as all of the other versions of U5. I have been playing U5 on my GP32 also :ru13z: THE POST

There is an 8th circle non-combat magic spell called "Vas Rel Por" that will summon a moongate on demand.

Thanks BCTurk! Well... The original Ultima V required over 1Mb of disk space. I have managed to trim that to 550Kb. Then I compress it down to about 210Kb. It could possibly be done for an 83+ but some unnecessary details would need to be removed.

Yes... but they work based on the phases of the 2 moons. Hence, the name moongates. The rise and fall of the moongate sprite is unique and has its own animation algorithm. This fact caused me to rework and "tweak" my tile animation and drawing functions. Pain in the butt! There are a total of 8 moongates sprinkled thoughout the world of Britannia. There are other things you can do with these moongates too... But I'm not telling... Spoilers :ph43r:  This post has been edited by Ranman on 31 Dec, 2005, 15:31 THE POST

Ultima V Update:
QuoteBegin-The Ultima V Book of Lore+ --> | QUOTE (The Ultima V Book of Lore) |
Many tales are told of knights traveling from towne to towne, even across water, merely stepping into a wall of light. There are few verifiable reports of moongate travel. However, sifting through those reports that are verifiable, it has become clear that they operate as follows.
Each night at the apex of the first moon, Trammel, the eight moongates appear, rectangles of shimmering blue light rising from the ground. They remain until Felucca reaches her apex. While the moongates are open, a traveler entering one will instantly be transported to another moongate in a different locale.
The traveler's destination is determined by the phase of the moon closest to midheaven. Moongate travel is said to be fast and safe; however, there have been confusing and conflicting reports of what transpires when the moons are equidistant in the midheaven. Moongate travelers should exercise caution. |
Alas... After some painful rework :dang:  the rumored moongate travel is working! :woot:  Another good reason to pay close attention to the time of day and the heavenly bodies (moons) orbiting Britannia. Happy New Year! THE POST
