You can find the War game on ticalc.org, you just have to know where to look: http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/128/12841.html

Time to open graphlink and convert it to 8xp

They already converted it to .8xp format for the second version of War: http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/138/13876.html.

wait, this means ticalc.org search engine is failing then. Because when I searched for War War (when searching for a word shorter than 4 letters we need to type it twice so it won't say your search string is too short), and It shown every game named war on ticalc, but not the SiCoDe one

I've Known that for a long time.

I just searched on ticalc.org using War War like you said you did, and I was able to find SiCoDe's War game. The ticalc.org search engine isn't the best, but it works well enough. I imagine you probably gave up looking for the War game because there were so many search results to look through, but what you need to do is actually look for the title of the page. In this case, the War game's page title is simply "War", so that's what I looked for.

darn must have missed it while looking. I'm definitively not a good visual person

Going back to lists:

If someone really wants to make an awesome list, they should go by category, not by how it's coded! Because like DJ Omnimaga said, there are some awesome Basic games that totally own a lot of assembly games in everything except speed, and sometimes that's not all that much of a difference (or importance). IMO the categories should be something like this:

Programs:

1: Math programs
2: Lib's, Utilities, and other programs helpful in programming in on-calc basic. (but no Basic programs in this, that defeats the purpose...)
3: Everything else. (This could be split up, but who really wants to make that many lists???

Games:

1: RPG's
2: Arcade style (and all other games with huge replay value.)
3: Misc. Games containing pure pwnage...

Lastly, I think we should all submit a few (3-5) games and programs into each category, and then have voting available for each category. But then that brings up an interesting point: if you haven't used the programs, you have no clue if they are better or worse than the ones you have used... also, only members of omnimaga should be able to vote, to make sure that the majority of omnimaga is happy, and not the majority of somewhere else... If you got this far in reading Thanks for your time!

Haha well then maybe you should start your own topic.

That was not the intention at all with my list.

EDIT:

Have you actually even read my list???? There are quite a few BASIC programs in the top 10!

The title of this topic is the most influential TI 83+ games.

true, I totally approved that list too. Altough I got ashamed that Zelda DLQ was missed :'( since it was the first Zelda for calcs ever completed. Sam Heald Zelda isn't even complete

DJ_Omnimaga: I will change that then.

nah it's ok as it is anyway, it's up to you though, I was just saying
