1 X TI-99 ESPIAL Game Cartridge by Tigervision
**FULLY TESTED!!!**
The first thing you mightnotice about the TI-99/4A version of ESPIAL is its weird cartridge shape. This is due to thefact that it plugs into the system\'s expansion port (where the SpeechSynthesizer plugs into) instead of the normal cartridge port. Mostlikely Tigervision did this because TI would not license outits GROM chips to many 3rd party developers. The GROM chip allowed forgreater amounts of memory to be put onto a single cartridge, andwithoutthe chip you were limited to 8K of ROM. Therefore, in order to fit Espial onto a cartridgeTigervision made it plug into the expansion port, which allowed formore memory than standard cartridges.
As a fighter inside an enemy mothership, your objective is to cause as much damage to that ship as possible all the while avoiding flying objects and bombs. There are 3 different screens and the level of difficulty increases as you cycle back to the first screen. Good graphics and sound effects coupled with frenetic action make for a very entertaining space shooter game.
Tested and working.
