Favorite calculator game(s)?
Message #1 Posted by Gene on 28 Feb 2003, 8:21 p.m.

Depends on the machine, of course, but some of mine are shown below and they are all on my web page. What are some of your favorite games?

Pinball Wizard - HP67 and HP41 Yahtzee - HP41 (partial to it because I wrote it) :-) Skunk - HP41 (again, I wrote it) High Rollers - HP41 Dungeon of Doom - HP41 Wickes' synthetic Hangman - HP41 Synthetic display Star Trek - HP41

which is your favorite? Mine is probably still the Pinball Wizard games.

HP41 Mini-Chess, definitely. it's one of the best HP41 programs I've seen. To fit that into a 41C + 3 memory modules is amazing!

You mean the version on copy protected mag cards, with precompiled GTO's ?

No, the version that's in the HP41 Games 2 Solution Book. It's all standard user code, and I scanned in the barcodes which were not 'private'. You can get it from this site AFAIK.

Hmm,

that's a different program.

The one I was thinking of was a real 8x8 chess program with 4 skill levels. I bought the mag cards set for about DM 50 back then, and it really worked. The only flaw I found in that program: You could move from bottom or top row, even when there were knights in the next row...

Regards,

Raymond
