Leave a Review Retro Parsec
I had a TI99/4A back in the good old days.
This was the first cartridge game I got for it, and this version is spot on. Perfect. Couldn’t do TI Invaders next could you?PureZX10
Parsec!
Great game visually, but there doesn’t seem to be any audio.
The game description says there are sound effects but I can’t hear any.StarKing26
Terrible controls for an awesome game
I loved Parsec on the TI-99/4a. This is a faithful reproduction, except for one thing.
The controls are terrible! They only work intermittently, and the fixed location and small trigger areas only serves to highlight the shortcoming of touch-screen controls - you have to look at the controls, to use them.
The control area is too small, which means you frequently miss them.
Because they are fixed, you constantly have to look down to reorient your fingers.
They also seem far more sensitive than the controls on the original. The game and ship speed at level 1 feels like level 3, on the original; it’s too easy to fly into the ground or an enemy ship.
I want to love this game again, but it’s pretty much unplayable past level 1.Show lessNuZooRevue
Developer Response
Sorry to hear that, I will look at ways to improve it in the future. You can use a MFI controller to play 😃Fun, great execution although the controls are small.
I look forward to pulling it out in random situations and imagining real arcades with these type of games back in the 70’s and up.CharlieEdgar
Love this remake of an old classic
Nostalgic. Brings back memories of my first computer, the TI99/4A and it’s amazing gameplay. I played Parsec all the time.
My only issue is with the controls. It’s difficult to play on my iPhone 13 Pro Max. Can the controls be moved closer to the center - at least for the larger form factors? The fire button is in the lower-right corner and is often missed when tapped. It’s nearly off-screen for me.Show lesshernia1
Takes me back to my childhood!
Awesome remake! I forgot how difficult it was. However on my iPhone 14 pro max, the controls are in the corners, almost off the screen completely. Makes it difficult to hold the phone and they aren’t very responsive. They need to be moved in the screen more. Other than that it’s great!RetroGamer313
Hard to use fire button on a phone with a case on
Too tucked away in the corner. Otherwise loved it! Could you make Alpiner? It was my favourite and very popular game for ti-99!Foodlvr2
Outstanding!
Perfect emulation of a classic for old-timers like me!Mattjumbo
Parsec
I played this game as a kid and still have it on the original Ti99 now and this plays exactly the same. It’s nice to have speech in it too. Plugging in the speech synth into the iPhone could be tricky.
I did so speak to the original coders years ago for a piece I wrote.

Feel like a kid again…but controls not responsive enough
I love this game,,,I wish the screen joystick control was more responsive and not so close to the edge. My son thinks it doesn’t work right because the controller is too close to the screen border. We are using a iPad Pro.thedivamommy
