Awesome work guys!
Good looking stuff, well done
Coool
Solid!
Whoa, what a demo! So many great effects, so well presented! Never gets boring! Great chiptuntes as well!
Excellent! Lots of content on a not-so-commonly-used machine. Highly enjoyable!
platform, efforts.
Please replace PC emulator video with real machine, if possible.

a very enjoyable oldschool demoshow on an oldschool platform.

I'm not familiar with the TI99 specs although I suspect they're not great, but this a very nice demo. Lots of effects, good tunes and nice design and rhythm. Keep making demos! :)
Great effects and chip!
great stuff, good song too and nice touch using the speech synth too. Effects and color really reminds me of MSX1, and the "dirtiness" of them too. All and all a great effects show for a famously lacking machine, it almost feels usable seeing this!
excelent
Rocks!
Well done mates! Deserves 1st.
wow excellent!!
Much work, many fx, nice tunes. Don't know much about TI99 specs - to me looks like MSX1 w/o z80. Considering this, well: great demo!
Megademos are bigger in Texas! Fine use of the instrument...
Very good, especially the first tune.
Woohooo!
you make demos!
Yay! Demos on less common platforms!
Double yay its a great demo :-)

9918 glöps and catchy tunes, sprites put to good use also!
Good stuff!
It is fantastic !! thanks !!!!
mine is already on the cartridge :) it is a Must have DEMO !

i somewhat regret to not contribute to this
but it seems my help was not needed anyway :D
rulez, motherfucking rulez!

Nize! This rotzoomer section was just BASSig!
Holy hell it's cool!
Great !...I have one of those TI's in my attic :-) The CPU looks really interesting to code on...may be the first 16 Bit CPU for the masses at that time !?
<3 megademo for this platform.
It`s also a good timing to get out a Texas demo, with the actual Cow-boys attitude of the new president of USA (Trump).
My favorite part is the wolfenstein one... as the framerate is high...
I also like the filled 3D with imperfect chars... it give a style, although I understand must be due to some limitation to get that FPS?

Very nice, good-looking effects and cool music!
The next group is going to have to search hard to find something you didn't include. ;)
I got to see a brief preview, but this is great. :) Well deserved win.

TMS9900 thumb.
What a pity I couldn't easily find other TI99 prods here...

Nice work! Not sure about the specs of the machine either, but judging from its design date they're probably not very great
Good demo.
A very nice product to a truly strange machine. Hooray!

Awesome work for such a limited 16 bit platform. There's definitely a design motif around early 80s color computer demonstrations. That zoom rotate was huge! Nice that some devs have their hands in the emulators. A shame the music repeats midway through, but it is a pretty long demo.
Awesome as always :-)
I like it!!!!!!
Lots of effects for an obscure platform, which is nice! Although I would have preferred slightly fewer effects and some more focus on design instead, it's still great of course. :)
Me likey!
The ego shooter part had me. Awesome work and a fuckton of effort really show - even in the small bits, like the shadow at the twister and the lovely 2D art<3
awesome stuff!!!!!!!!!!

for a platform first I think we set the bar at a pretty good height
Yep, you said it yourself! The spex of that machine seem to provide power for even more awesomeness! While you had some very nice routines in there already...the wolfenstein f.e. is really wellmade!
Music rocks.
And the sheer amount of content is really awesome!
Now let´s hope you get some contenders! ;)

Here's my thumb
Sweet work!
Awesome effort all around!
Good stuff!
Incredible work, guys! As TI-99/4A owner i am really thankful to finally have a real demo available for my system.
this f*cking rulez!
fkn super nice for platform firstie, great tunes! =)
Massive work on a funky platform guys.
m-m-m-multipart!
Demo for the weirdo :)
Impressive.
Thanks for the tips about hardware specs. I am a sucker for those scanline effects - especially the 3D-floor which scrolls à la Trailblazer: I know how hard it is to get this from the VDP (see mine on MSX1). Respect!
This is voodoo magic code for a TI-99!
nice work guys!
Great prod on a very limited and obscure platform!
Impressive for a TI/99 4A!
Great work! It's fantastic to see a real demo for the 99/4a, we'll definitely be screening this at Demosplash 2017. This is a platform I always wished would get more attention - the TMS9900 is a cool CPU, but I imagine the hacky and cheap hardware design of the rest of the machine makes it not much fun to develop for.
Cool! Can I run this on my TI 99/4A? I don't have the extra stuff in nfo cos it's rare++, so... can I easily build a cartridge if I have a 512K EPROM? Or I order a cart somewhere? :)
I don't really know what's possible on Ti99/4a but this one makes me feel good... waaaaoooo!
Also, 2 things to correct:
Sound:
MSX: AY-3-8910 - TI: TMS9919
So the sound is not the same at all.
Memory:
128 16-bit words (256 bytes) scratchpad. (8 bits times 16, because of 8 bits databus each of the 2 SRAM chips)
There is an interesting chart on how many cycles each operation takes depending on the type of memory and bit-width, because the CPU-core has also been used as a microcontroller and later generations of the CPU.

Nice stuff
I love the colours of TI-99/4A!
Nice, distinct style throughout the demo and some dope effects. Could have been a tad shorter, omitting a few effects that weren't spectacular neither code nor design wise.

Great Texas Instrument demo, think i already had thumbed this up as i posted it on http://vintagegames.se and the Swedish Retro community sites when it was released :P
Love this one!
platform thumb and a special thumb for messing around with hardware that is just pain in the ass !
wow
Awesome demo, the music is a bit repetitive, but has a distinct groove that matches the speed of the machine! Impressive coding parts that show off what one can do with the machine. It's a shame the machine is underrepresented in the demo scene. I would like to see more!
ok
yes
impressive

Can I buy the speech extension for a real TI-99/4A today?
