That's just one of those bizarre things that make go, "Wha?!"
Such as text mode quake. Heh.

I don't know, roguelikes for handheld computers sound pretty good.
I'm just pissed that it's incompatible with my TI-83.

 

[Azael]

Hmm, doesn't work on my TI-82.

 

[ecliptic]

89's and upward only..

My 86 need not apply. -sigh-

Ah well, the old standards nibbles and tetris are always fine. Boulderdash etc.

I downloaded the Windows version of it. I'm fairly disappointed the guy didn't make the Windows version do the calculator style graphics, which would have made it an interesting novelty.
