“Grab your joystick.” So cool.

The Atari soccer from 1982 was way more engaging than this TI version. TI made a grave mistake not letting 3rd party devs utilize platform properly. I have a TI99/4A and Atari 65XE 8bit today and it's a shame such a great machine was hobbled by stupid decisions made by TI. Both platforms were released in 1979, but Atari had video game experience and TI was into mainframe business resulting in 2 very different approaches.

He will always be Anakin Skywalker to me

never play with naughty clowns

Еще есть служанки весом под 200 кг, вот они больно бьют своими кулаками, повара кидают разделочным топором, дерьмо (коричневое) ожившее в подземелье. 😁

Thats really cool

Cool game

Para los que vienen del vuelo (0:32).

The worst problem with this version is that the player car moves left and right on the screen. In Pole Position the player car remains dead centre, and the road moves left and right under it. And even the 2600 had the red/white aprons at the curb, which add the illusion of speed that this version lacks so badly. The worst Atarisoft port on the system, but still prettier than Atarisoft Moon Patrol on a C-64. Sometimes Atarisoft coders were clearly rushed.

For those visiting from the future, it's at 0:32

Who would have thought, 16 years later, that this video would help successfully debunk one of the craziest UFO videos ever seen

Lol 😂 Palpatine's face at 1:07

How do you move the man keyboard?my man will not move from the keyboard .

As an 80s kid my best friend and I stayed up into the wee hours on summer break playing this when our group of geeks couldn't get together for D&D. Now scattered all over the country we use zoom to play D&D in our late 40s and early 50s

i personally dislike this scene

I cussed out loud when OP got blown up after the long refuel

great throwback!

Some kid described this game to me in first grade like 30 years ago and I never actually saw it until literally right now. This is cool

1:22-1:38

Learned a lot of English with that game. Too bad I had no clue how to pronounce the words ;)

0:51 gave me a heart attack once

Not a bad port. The car looks like a dragster though.

The most powerful thing of this scene is seeing Anakin through that mask.

Through a mask, no dialogue, accompanied only by a swell in the music and the ever-present screams of his son, we watched Darth Vader finally overcome the darkness in his heart. It was perfectly done and acted as a flawless climax to the saga of Anakin Skywalker. Honestly, while several of the changes to the original trilogy are odd, poorly executed, or just jarring, the change of this scene is the only one I'd describe as 'wrong'. I don't care who shot first [no seriously, the complaints on THAT scene are overblown and whiny], I don't care how many CGI aliens get tossed into background shots, and I don't care about the addition of weird musical numbers in the palace of a slug crime lord! But messing up the perfect climax of a 3-6 movie character arc (depending on where you started) IS something that annoys me.

This might be the best part of all the game (both the enemies and the music =XDDD)

1:12 Darth Vader becomes Anakin Skywalker again.

Although much maligned for the magnified sprites and less-than-perfect hit detection, until the Atari ST and Vectrex versions were released, this was my original era favourite. It is also my second favourite Atarisoft TI port (Shamus is #1) I completed the Atari 800 version after a few dozen sittings (the beginner through advanced continuous run), but 40 years later I still have not beaten the TI version (or the original arcade version). Also, the Atarisoft C64 and Apple II versions were graphic embarrassments by comparison. Considering the sweatshop deadlines imposed on the coders by Atarisoft - many working on unfamilar hardware, TI Atarisoft titles are always better than mediocre - except Pole Position - that one's just godawful. (and Picnic Paranoia which is just a bad game on Atari or TI hardware - the only two platforms (I believe) asked to suffer through it)

I just remember the sound after a turnover.. Fun game for this computer..

I don't think I ever managed to successfully refuel.

I miss this game.

Vader killed officers who failed him yet he turned out to be the biggest traitor to the Empire.

Never did make it past the second screen of this. Never did figure out that the beam halfway across the screen was the "about to fire" signal. But I was what, 7 or 8? Classic game for TI BASIC, which I also don't remember chugging as much as it actually did.

and they thought eFootball 2021 was bad

mmmm My first video game!!!! I loved the song but was so little that I couldn't even load the game on our own Texas instruments pc. Damn game came with a cassette with the sound track on it, you had to sync it to the pc... Hilarious!

Imagic ports always took it to another level on the TI994a. Microsurgeon was unbelievable and impresses me greatly to this day. Fathom was also well done. Super Demon Attack looked like arcade quality. Also looked, felt, and sounded really funky. Atari Soft, Data East, and Sega made pretty good arcade ports. But Imagic was the most memorable 3rd party developer for the Texas Instruments Home Computer. They always gave us something way extra in their products.

I think that is the same version as the Colecovision, without the Level Sound.

The analog video corruption makes it even scarier

GODAMN THAT IS LOUD

Ah, the good old days -- back before game programmers knew about photosensitive epilepsy, so they just flashed the background color as an effect.

Yeah, that's about how gas station parking is now.

Another game from the book by Khoa and Quyen Ton!

This is from Khoa and Quyen Ton's book of BASIC games for the TI-99/4A.

This was the first game in Khoa and Quyen Ton's book of TI-99/4A games written in BASIC (and Extended BASIC). I never thought I would find these games here!

Fantastic!

This was probably my least favorite game we owned and mainly for of how dumb the car looks in turns lol!

It's funny, even to this day I'll randomly give compliments by telling people, "Excellent maneuvering captain!"

no cheating at least with the F18A chip :)

No...... NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

The TI-99/4A was my first computer back in the early 80s. Didn't have this game, but did spend hours playing Tunnels of Doom with my little brother. Great memories.

Reminds me of that Lunar Lander game
