Chip's Challenge: An Eight-level Grayscale 83+ Puzzler
Posted by Travis on 25 September 2009, 20:28 GMT
 After TI-Boy was added
to the archives on June 22, Brendan Fletcher
has returned precisely three months later to post Chip's
Challenge, a clone of the classic tile-based puzzle game that
was released for various systems including the Atari Lynx, Amiga, and
ZX Spectrum. The goal is to navigate through an extensive array of
levels filled with all types of puzzles and obstacles. This game goes a
step beyond traditional grayscale programs by using eight-level
grayscale on the 83+ series. Check it out.

That looks super neat.
It's honestly been years since I played an 83+ game, but I think I just might give that a shot.

...err... I mean I'm happy finally someone did that for 83+. On top of that, it has grayscale.
On regular 83+ GS isn't as great but still not that bad and it's only because of the shitty LCD that causes areas around vertical checkered patterns ones to have lower contrast than other parts of the screen, plus the contrast on the 83+ being so different between dark/bright causing me to only be able to view 7 of the 8 shades of gray at once.
Awesome job Calc84maniac and congrats for the feature. You deserve it!
But now... FINISH F-ZERO! :D j/k but yeah I can't wait for this one too (and the new Super Mario clone)

Someone is on a role. That's all I have to say about that.

I absolutely love that scaling effect at the beginning. Pretty damned impressive.

I think I like the PC version better since the screen is better to see.

Contrary to information in the description of this file, it is not the first Chips Challenge for TI. It is, however, the first for the 83+. A while ago, I released Chips Challenge for the 89 and 89 titanium. (just for the record)

I'm having some trouble getting it to work smoothly on my 83+silver; the screen jumps around a lot. I found "alcdfix", an assembly program that adjusts display driver settings, and that helped a little, but it's still almost unplayable.
Any suggestions/solutions?
