Card Game

A card game I made up a few months ago. Try to get all of the cards out of your hand in a solitaire-fashion.

Checkers

Checkers the board game.

Dr. Tiesaq

This program simulates having a conversation with a therapist. Of course, it is for entertainment only. But it's nice to se a computer try to carry on a conversation.

DrugWars

Common game among programmers. Pay back your superiors by buying and selling drugs on the black market.

Erik the Swift

A text-based adventure game written by a good friend of mine name Christof. Amusing, but not suitable for younger persons.

Line Saver

A screensaver-type program I wrote using BGI (DOS) graphics. Fun to watch, not much to play. It generates lines of random colors and reflects them a random number of times across the screen. Good times.

Mastermind

Try to guess the sequence of colors. Similar to the board game of the same name. Also BGI graphics.

Matrix Code, The

A programs which scrolls characters across your screen Matrix-style. Has some nifty sayings and graphics. Fund to watch, but again, not much to play.

My Job is My Money

This program was wirtten by my father, Dennis Bowland, who also happens to be the author of The Prince of America: Achieving Wealth as a Corporate Employee. It is meant to teach the propper use of money to people of the highschool and college age.

Nibbles

Who can forget the game where you try to maneuver the snake to eat the "apples" which were really just red dots? Well, in case you did forget, this is my version. It's in BGI graphics and I seem to remember it being really fast on modern computers.

Poker

The fun game of five card stud poker in BGI graphics form. I mean, who doesn't like DOS poker, eh?

Seven Men Across

A game my father made up in which you try to get seven of your pieces across the board to the other side while your opponent tries to do the same. Fun game, try it, and you'll be addicted.

Simple Encryption

This program allows you to encrypt a file using a password. Not the best encryption, but certainly not the worst. Of course, you can decrypt, as well. (Wouldn't it be pointless otherwise?)

Spaze Invaders

Game where you must shoot down the alien spacecraft. Each time you hit a spacecraft, it gets smaller. Each time one dies, another appears. How many can you get before Earth is destroyed? (cue suspenseful music)

Tetris

The old favorite Tetris made for the PC in BGI graphics. Really a good game for only DOS and only 16 colors. Fast, as well.

Textris

Tetris written in C++ and notepad-style. A friend of mine in programming class wrote it with me. Fun to mess around with, and hey, it's TETRIS!

Description

3DMaze

A truly 3D maze using TiCC's FAT technology. Generates a random maze of a size you specify. The bigger the maze, the more you wander without a CLUE where you are (the walls all look exactly the same).

Avalanche

Dodge the falling ice. Each piece of ice falls at a different speed, making the game challenging. Faster and better than previous versions. This is actually fun!

Battleship

The game of battleship. Faster than the BASIC version and with better graphics. You don't get to choose where you ships go, but WHO CARES? The calculator is guessing, it's not as though it would make a difference!

Boom!

Try to catch the bombs thrown from a dude at the top of the screen. Based on a Ti-86 game by Bruce Herr 2 of the same name.

Duck Hunt

Duck Hunt (outdated)

One of my favorite games. Shoot the ducks. There are many different options and the background is similar to that of the original Nintendo version. The outdated version is only for AMS 1.00, but is my original (and written in 68k), so I still love it. Don't use it on newer calculators, use the top version.

Hangman

The game of Hangman. Guess the word before you are hung. There is a huge word list.

Maze 2D

This game randomly generates a maze, which you navigate through. You must collect all the coins before exiting. This game is fast, has good (enough) graphics, and the mazes can get really large. Worth your time.

MULE

A puzzle game where you race against the clock trying to match a piece you are given with a pieces somewhere on a board. Of course, the pieces look similar. This game is based off a game my programming teacher showed me. Unfortunately, it wasn't named MULE as I thought it was, but, oh well. This one is.

Simon

Repeat a pattern back to the calculator. See how far you can get without screwing up. Based on the popular game.

Tron

Try to kill the opposing snakes by making them run into your tail-trail. Each levels adds another snake.

Blackjack

Who doesn't know the game of Blackjack? Try to attain 21 without going over.

The game of baseball on the calculator. The graphics aren't half-bad as it has little dudes that run around the field. You get to hit the ball and other such fun.

Battleship

The game of battleship on the calculator. Try to sink your opponent's ships before he sinks yours. The calculator AI isn't half-bad, either.

Cross-Add

Nibbles

The game of Nibbles in BASIC. Fun, new, and interesting levels. Speed isn't the worst.

Pentode
