| Kudos to Sam Heald, our most downloaded author! | zkostik | Well, recently Sam Heald has become our most downloaded author of all time. He's the creator of all popular Mario83+ game for the TI-83 series of calcs as well as one of the major authors in TI calculator community. All of CG staff and other site members would like to congratulate him on his accomplishments (Sam's is busy with his university education right now so he probably doesn't go to calc sites anymore, but he's still cool and we want to mention his name).
Awesome job Sam!
We would also like to encourage other TI calculator fans to look at Sam's games and maybe learn to program your own games. You can always drop by our forums and others will share some good tutorial links with you. Below are some screenies takes from Sam's Mario 83+:

| | | Kudos to Sam Heald, our most downloaded author! | zkostik | No one! This is once again a proof of that. Nintendo's italian plumber still dominates the gaming world and probably will for unforseen amount of time...

| | | Kudos to Sam Heald, our most downloaded author! | zkostik | I definitely agree w/ you about sonice, but apparently it's only for 68k and would not be possible on 83 anyway. Honestly speaking, there was a better mario clone for the 83, but I don't quite remember what it was called.

| | | Kudos to Sam Heald, our most downloaded author! | spiral | | i'm pretty sure this is the best mario clone for 83. | | 29 Mar 2004, 15:40 GMT |
|
| | | Kudos to Sam Heald, our most downloaded author! | zkostik | possibly, this is definitely the most popular one and one of the few clones that supports external levels.

On the file page, click on the upper left courner, where the name of the program is underlined.
It's kindof sad, actually, mario seems to take over all download stats where it's avaiable for download. This site was the only one i've found in that actually didn't have it be the number 1 or 2. Not anymore, I guess...

| | | Kudos to Sam Heald, our most downloaded author! | Barrett | the smoking guy probably isn't the best icon to have on this site anymore (with TI checking our site and all...)... i changed it to one of our old ROM icons (sonic is FAST and sam is FAST getting downloads... or something... i don't know...)... we need some new random icons

|
| | | Kudos to Sam Heald, our most downloaded author! | zkostik | yeah, i remember playing it a while ago. too bad the casino nights world didn't work (not enough ram). btw S, have you tried the newest version of it and did they make any other worlds or at least get the casino to work?
