Digging through some ancient technology, I have used a TI-82 Calculator graphics library for Borland Turbo Pascal and created a (very simple) game for 16-bit DOS.
Minimum System Requirements: * 80286 3MHz or higher * EGA or VGA Graphics Adapter * 30 KB Disk Space (floppy or hard drive) * DOS 5.0 * PKUNZIP v2.04g
Maximum System Requirements: * An OS that can run 16-bit DOS programs. Windows XP is the last one that will work, I suspect. I recommend Windows 3.1 or OSX/Warp. * DOSBox is included for emulation on more futuristic computers.
Well, I had only a few hours available, but wanted to submit *something*, so decided to just dive into some ancient technology, reliving my early coding days from when high school AP Computer Science courses were still taught using Pascal. This game is probably not worth playing, perhaps more fun is trying to get it to run on a modern computer!
I haven't downloaded the game, but it looks really cool! I want to go get out a calculator and play this one. XD
Good work, and I completely understand what you meant by that you only had a few hours to work but wanted to submit something. I will feel the same way, when I upload my game here.
excellent use of the theme, good job. I giggled from the concept of this. The gameplay is pretty simple but it finished what it strived to do so good job on that.Also the game runs well on windows 10 so good to know that the max os isnt xp.
Very well done. So simple yet so amazingly awesome. Some of the parts it seemed like the map scrolled faster than I could move but maybe that's just me hitting the wall and blaming it on the game. I'm a big fan of games being made on ancient technology.
I remember playing something similar on TI-83 where you're driving through a tunnel. I loved playing graphing calculator games. I like this game as well. I think there is potential to use automatic repeat key presses as an advanced technique for difficult turns.
