TI-99/4a Collection Overview (Part 4) - Atari Update, TI NanoPEB Preview and Escape in TI BASIC

In this 30-minute video, I use my standard TI-99/4a with a tape interface cable to play one TI BASIC game from 2019, written by "BleepBit", called "Escape." I load the game from "tape" (a WAV file) from my laptop. In order to create the "tape," I loaded a disk image in MAME and saved it as a WAV file. Thanks to my friend Rick, who repaired my Indus and 1050 Atari disk drives for my 130XE. He also taught me how to play Star Raiders, which I "showoff" a bit in this video (trust me; I don't have any skill at the game). While I play "Escape," I give an overview of it along with some narration. I tried "Escape" in TI Extended BASIC, hoping it would play faster, but it didn't work properly. In this video, the colors of the game are nearly-completely washed-out: the game is displayed in blue-toned B&W, but this game is actually quite colorful. I'll try a direct-capture of "Escape" using my Framemeister in an upcoming video, just as an experiment. I show the BASIC listing of the game. In the last year or so, "BleepBit" has made a recent port of the arcade game "Pengo" written in Extended BASIC that has been compiled. You can see it here: https://www.bleepbit.com/2019/05/12/p... I also show my Atari 130XE next to my TI for size comparison. Since it's a new toy, I briefly show a close-up of my NanoPEB that I got this week, which supports an additional 32K RAM, four virtual floppy disk drives and a serial port. In my next TI video, I'm going to ditch showing any Atari hardware or software and I'm going to play some more TI BASIC games that have been recommended in this thread: https://atariage.com/forums/topic/311... Over the past few days, "sparkdrummer" has added 24 games to the above thread: 1) Alphabet Soup 2) Astromania 3) Attack Man 4) Battle over Titan 5) Blackbeard's Treasure 6) Casino Blackjack 7) Cavern Quest 8) Crazy Fun House 9) Cross Country Car Rally 10) Death Drones 11) Desert Trek 12) Garbage Belly 13) Life (Assembly Language, Loads in Console BASIC) 14) Lunar Lander 15) Moonbeam Express 16) Moonvasion 17) Night Mission 18) Pharaoh's Tomb 19) Robot Runner 20) Same Colors (Assembly Language, Loads in Console BASIC) 21) Strike Force 99 22) Super Frogger 23) Tank Battle 24) Zerozone Over the next few weeks, I'm going to pick a few of these games to try them out. I'll probably pick a couple of them and make a video of some gameplay, possibly with some narration. Thanks, "sparkdrummer," for placing so many games directly into the TI BASIC Games thread.
