New Spectrum ports for TI99/4A!

Let's see some great Spectrum ports for TI99/4a.
Interestingly, TI99/4a has the same resolution (256x192) as Spectrum and that is another reason why these conversions are so faithful.
However, the greatest credit for these games goes to the fantastic programmer Rasmus Moustgaard, who has made the most of the best TI99 games in the past few years.
Sabre Wulf is a particularly good, perhaps the best version I've played, Knight Lore is somewhat slower but very well done as well as the Pyjamarama and Jet Set Willy, which are also great. :)

Amazing Work! Rasmus Moustgaard has done quite a job there porting these classics to the TI99/4A.

My childhood computer was a ti99/4a. Being from Canada, I didn't know anything about the Spectrum until Rasmus' ports, which got me interested in the machine. Now I use my Spectrum far more than my poor old ti!

when my parents were looking for a ‘home computer’ back in the early 80s they very nearly plumped for a ti99 but we went for a Dragon32 instead. After the second Dragon died we got the cash back from the computer shop and bought a rubber keyed 48k beauty.

I must admit that these conversion looks superb.
