It is a combat game sort of like Super Smash Bros. with a lot of features, including: (the game right now is for the TI-89 and Titanium, but in the future, I hope to add V200 and 92+ soon) - 24 unlockable characters, each with different heights and widths - 26 unlockable various stages - 10 different invitational tournaments to unlock or create your own custom tournaments - 31 complete unlockable episodes, with increasing difficulties - timed matches anywhere from 1 to 90 minutes in duration (90 for the hardcore gamers ;-) ) - stock matches anywhere from 1 to 5 lives - sudden death for timed matches if the game deems necessary - up to 5 different saved user profiles to load and view - save your arena battle and tournament and settings into your profile quickly - allows 1 of each per profile! - Arena mode: freestyle fight based on the settings, choose anywhere from 2-4 players to fight - Story mode: 10 consecutive, always different, random stages, with 2 Race to the finish minigames, a metal character fight, and, of course, the final battle (boss battle) - complete trophy gallery with 5 pages to view 8 trophies - teacher key to save your own custom battles and then instantly reload them on startup! - 4 different AI difficulties (Classic = easiest, Admiral, Premiere, Elite = hardest) - crowd pressure enablement - background shakes - 1 complete moving level enabled to put a twist into your battles (hopefully, more to come later) - 26 different items that fall from the sky - 16 different types of terrain blocks inside levels (hopefully, more to come, as some were removed) - works on hardware versions 1, 2, and 3 - no patch required - full scrolling credits screen Here's some links to screenshots of my program: (it wasn't finding them here for some reason...) host-a.net/mhergenrader/bosslevel.jpg host-a.net/mhergenrader/c...afight.GIF host-a.net/mhergenrader/episode1.GIF host-a.net/mhergenrader/episodemenu.GIF host-a.net/mhergenrader/i...nfight.GIF host-a.net/mhergenrader/TOURNY.GIF Here's the link to test the program, just follow the instructions and email me with any questions/issues/concerns/bug and glitch reports. (also let me know who you are so I can include you in the credits) host-a.net/mhergenrader/T...20Beta.zip (Just click directly on the "Download directly from Host-A" link) When you find something, want to ask a question, or you just want to let me know your interest, please either email me at mhergenrader@comcast.net or post here or on the topic soon to be created at yAronet. Thanks! -Michael Hergenrader

I couldn't quite tell from the description - it's just singleplayer vs AI, or link-play is also supported? --Malcolm

With all the stuff going on, it doesn't seem feasible, because you would need a scaler function. NOTE: I didn't test the game...just looked at the screen shots.

It should pretty easy to see your character in the level and the other AI, I think in my personal opinion (except in some episodes with a really dark contrast setting ) [Off-topic] Sorry for the double post. [/Off-topic] Edit: My plan in the future right after the beta (or even now, ASAP with another version released) is that I want to make the game TI-92+ and V-200 Compatible. Also, I want to add Kevin's USB link stuff into the game if there is room. This version is currently about 61000 bytes uncompressed. Just for the record, I'm pretty inexperienced with how the linking works on the calculators. Could someone direct me to some sort of article or point me in the direction to do this? (it is another feature I plan to do soon)

Sorry if this caused people to reset their calculators every time without knowing this (it was a testing thing in menus for me)
