Contra 83

Finally! After two years of work, Bryan Thomas released his Basic platform game, Contra 83. Contra 83 is a remake of the original NES contra, and is programmed entirely in TI-BASIC (no asm subroutines or programs). It's available for download at www.olsoft.tk.

You might think that it's really slow, because it's basic. But you're wrong! Even on my non-overclocked 6 Mhz TI 83+ Black Edition, it runs smooth. The graphics are okay, but your character sprite is only 5x3 pixels, to keep the game fast. There are 6 levels, but i only made it to level 2, on difficulty level easy. It really is a tough game!

Re: Contra 83

I never liked Contra, it was too hard for me.
