Pardon?
>mention was made of the TMS1000. Can anyone do a
dump on one for me?
I think this was in reference to a REALLY REALLY old thread. Unless it
came back up recently, the last Dark Tower thread I saw was when I first
joined the list (I provided a few pics of the internals of the tower
unit), and that was two or three years ago!!

I remember an ancient thread about this. I have a Dark Tower at home,
much fun. What I'm wondering is if there's a decent, detailed, write-up
of how the game plays. I mean flow-chart/programming-spec-level of detail.
Enough to, say, implement the game in Javascript or some such (for the day
when my Tower dies).
Obviously, a dump of the internal ROM would be an excellent starting point,
but I wasn't aware you could dump the TMS1000. If that's possible, there
are several games of the era that could be effectively emulated.

I didn't realize the Dark Tower was based on the TMS1000. Very cool.
Those things regularly go for over $100 on eBay...
