EarthBound Calculator Edition

Whoa…

Suddenly, math class looks a lot more interesting!

I remember being jealous of the people who had that Zelda game on their calculator. My lame ol’ Casio couldn’t pull cool stuff like that off 🙁

Well, that would be two of my three favorite RPGs on calculators!

Now if someone ports Morrowind…

Awesome.

I remember someone putting Link’s Awakening on a calculator, awesome.

I remember programming an Earthbound point an click for a monochrome Macintosh computer- I should see if I can dig it up!

Oh shiznet, I don’t think I’ll be passing AP Stat with that calculator.

Oh my god, my heart skipped a beat and I immediately picked up the phone to tell my friends when I saw that my little project somehow managed to end up here.

Thank you Mato, my personal hero!

All I know how to do on mine is draw mr saturns and type stuff XD

They’ve put the actual Doom in a calculator too.

Unfortunately, graphing calculators really haven’t improved at all since the 90’s. What’s the deal Texas Instruments?

It’s all right here in this pamphlet.

My TI83+ didn’t come with the usb cord, so I never put any games on it and don’t know how to make games for it either.

You can just use a regular mini-usb cord like the ones used for the blackberry or most other cellphones. Even ps3 controllers.

I’ve seen some pretty high tech calculators out there–I’m sure it’s possible to make an Earthbound game for them (the later ones especially).

I remember in high school programming a bunch of simple text-based games on my calculator. I didn’t know how to make graphical games, but i had a few that were passed around. I remember one program i made was a text based battle game based off of Earthbound’s battles. I wonder what ever happened to that calculator.

You know at first I thought “Oh god a severly watered down port of Earthbound” but then I thought hard about it and that would be the best damn idea ever. Think of playing some pocket Earthbound that only takes 5 hours to beat but would still be satisfyingly awesome.

This makes me want to buy a graphing calculator. I just wish they weren’t so expensive…

I remember my friend had a Megaman game on his TI-82 and it had ProfanityMan as one of the robot masters. He would say a string of curse words and they would fly off his speech bubble and fly towards Megaman. Some of those calculator games are alright.

It’d be pretty cool if there was a Casio ClassPad version released, too.

^ Although it’d have to be cut down drastically.

I’m pretty sure someone ported Cave Story to a TI-83, which is pretty cool.

Thanks to whoever made this. Now Algebra 2/Trig will be a little less soul-crushing.
