Super Smash Bros. Fan Game Appears on TI-83 Calculators

November 17, 2014 by Tony Ponce

Settle it in Smash… even during algebra class!

Texas Instrument is a terrible company. How dare it still charge out the nose for its line of graphing calculators! But TI-83s continue to be necessary for high school math, so students have no choice but to pay the roughly $100 price tag for technology that has been obsolete for nearly 15 years. Might as well get some mileage out of the things as long as you have them, right? There are a bunch of games you can install on the machines to kill time during lunch period, and Super Smash Bros. Open is the latest one.

Back in August on the calculator game programming forum Omnimaga, a user by the name of Hayleia shared work on a Smash Bros. clone for calculators that run using the Zilog Z80 microprocessor (which includes TI-83 and TI-84). For such a low-powered device, the results are quite extraordinary — the camera zooms in and out just as in the original game, and the more zoomed in the image, the greater the sprite detail. There's even local multiplayer by way of the calculator's link port!

Currently, only Fox and Falco are available, but the "Open" in the title means that it's an open platform for anyone to expand with new characters, items, or whatever. Check the links above and below for sample animated GIFs of the game in action.
