I definatley agree.  The 89 does need some good games that the ti-8x
calculators have.  Like Sqrxz, Repton, Vertigo, etc.  Some original games
would be good.  I'm working on a game (not original but, it's not a copy
form GBC/NES games) called "The Scarab of Ra."  It's a game I had on my old
Apple Macintosh II.  You're a person trapped in a pyramid and to get out,
you have to find 'The Staff', 'The Scarab', and 'The Headset of Ra.'  It was
a really good game.

Yes, Lemmings is a great game!  I have it on my HP-49G.  Pagala (the author)
did an awesome job too!  Lemmings makes the HP-49G worth buying (as if it
wasn't already).  I could assist some one in developing it if they want.
Maybe I'll try assembling a group of porgrammers for that...

I'm working on Bubble Bobble. (for a long time now, unfortunately)  I've
started over now that I have a working map routine (with a lot of help from
friends).  I've never played scorched earth, personally.  I believe it's a
stratagey game?  A good stratagey game would be cool too.
