Any particularly interesting games for a 42S/DM42/Free42 or older models?

RE: Any particularly interesting games for a 42S/DM42/Free42 or older models?
Hi,

From some memories of a French friend about a game for the TI-58, I wrote an ALIEN program for the HP-67/97. The point here is that the keyboard, like for the 41 (with armed flag 22), can receive direct key inputs - I don't know if it is possible on a 42 to use the keyboard like a pad.

The goal is to escape (in a limited time) from the alien on a 8x8 square which represents the Nostromo whose walls are infected with toxic substances - yeah, the beast left its progeny behind, what did you expect? You have to reach point 0.0 (the airlock) to win the game before the vessel explodes.

What is amazing:
  • you know the distance from/to the evil, but NOT WHERE it is located;
  • The beast is always moving in YOUR direction.

You can find this game there: http://www.silicium.org/forum/viewtopic....28#p519028

I shall post it here in the forum in a few weeks. Enjoy.

PS: oh yes, it's a big program; not sure you would accept to type it in every time you want to play on the 42, but it should be okay on the awesome Free42/DM42.
