Thanks. Well, eventually I'd like to release Time Pilot on a cartridge for playing on the real TI-99/4A Home Computer. Ofcourse a ROM version for emulators exists, because I do the development using an emulator. Most likely I will then also release the ROM version. The same way as I did for Pitfall.
Dunno when that will be though, as this is all done in TMS9900 assembly language. It's a big project (which I haven't touched in a while now).
AMAZING!!!! You've done a BEAUTIFUL, top notch job! (so far, of course). I swear, it looks practically identical to the arcade version! An excellent "port". I'd love to see it when "finished"/done, speaking of which.....
Q: If you do ever finish/or already have done so......what's to become of the final product? Will it be made available to the general public? Will it be sold, free, for emulators only, for REAL TI99's only, etc? I'd love to get my hands on a copy/version for emulators.
Well I've just finished a tool I can use to easily generate all required sprite graphics. This will save me a lot of time I can use for working on the actual game. Now concentraing on bringing parachutes in.

Is this an emulator? If so, which 1? Classic 99 or Win994a?

@gjc82071 Sorry/never-mind (about if it's an emulator). I see it's classic99.

Hey, very impressive. Let me know when its out. =) Just post it to the OLUG. I'll take a copy on cart along with the Pitfall!

Plans are to implement this game as a cartridge.
Still a very long way to go though.
The challenge is to get a cartridge PCB with some extra RAM onboard (min 1K, most likely 4K would be enough)

VERY nice and one of my all time favorite games! I never thought this game on the
TI was possible! Keep up the great work! I'll buy a copy for sure when its done! :)

Looks very promising so far... I suppose the enemies are next?
