Intrepid YouTube user <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/no9sniper?feature=watch">no9sniper</a> has found a way to satisfy that burning itch to keep killing dragons, giants and tons of wild wolves while you are in class (and away from your PC/360/PS3 which is still warm from yesterday’s <em>long</em> <em>Skyrim</em> session) with a homebrew version of <em>The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim</em> that <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;v=VdA8bSsE9eo">runs completely on the Ti-84 plus</a>, complete with lo-fi graphics and a nonexistent storyline.</p><p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/VdA8bSsE9eo?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" width="640" height="360"></iframe></p><p>The game, from the video posted on YouTube, looks similar to the legacy <em>Elder Scrolls</em> games, with simple combat and some customization. You choose your name and your race (Imperial, Khajit or Orc) (Sadly no elves or argonians) and set out on a journey as a warrior into the snowy and whitey world with the greatest graphics card in the world at your disposal (read: your imagination). I initially thought it would be a rogue-like game but it turned out to be nicely designed with some retro graphics elements. Much fun!</p><p>I honestly have no idea how much time was invested by no9sniper to create this tiny distraction for class, but it sure as hell speaks volumes about this person’s perseverance! Kudos!</p> <img src="http://cache.techie-buzz.com/13288880445frbpui7wopf26eltpzdscumbag132888804402pfyg5mx7iv72c6yo01328888044.etc" class="scumbags" /><div style="font-size:12px"> <strong>Share:</strong> <a href="http://techie-buzz.com/gaming/play-skyrim-on-your-calculator.html#commentrespond" rel="bookmark" target="_blank">Comment on This Post</a> | <a href="http://twitter.com/home?source=techiebuzz&status=Play Skyrim On Your Calculator! http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FzBjggt via @techiebuzzer" rel="bookmark" target="_blank">Tweet This</a> | <a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://techie-buzz.com/gaming/play-skyrim-on-your-calculator.html" rel="bookmark" target="_blank">Share on Facebook</a> | <a href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=http://techie-buzz.com/gaming/play-skyrim-on-your-calculator.html&title=Play Skyrim On Your Calculator!" rel="bookmark" target="_blank">Save to Delicious</a> | <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=http://techie-buzz.com/gaming/play-skyrim-on-your-calculator.html" rel="bookmark" target="_blank">Stumble This</a> | <a href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=http://techie-buzz.com/gaming/play-skyrim-on-your-calculator.html&title=Play Skyrim On Your Calculator!" rel="bookmark" target="_blank">Digg This</a> | <a href="http://www.reddit.com/submit?url=http://techie-buzz.com/gaming/play-skyrim-on-your-calculator.html&title=Play Skyrim On Your Calculator!" rel="bookmark" target="_blank">Reddit This</a></div> <br /><div><strong style="font-size:11px;">TAGS:</strong> <span style="text-transform:uppercase;font-size:11px;"><a href="http://techie-buzz.com/tag/calculator" rel="tag">calculator</a>, <a href="http://techie-buzz.com/tag/homebrew" rel="tag">homebrew</a>, <a href="http://techie-buzz.com/tag/skyrim" rel="tag">skyrim</a></span><br/> </small></div><div style="background:#E1E1E1; border: dotted 1px; padding:5px; margin-top:5px;font-size:11px"> <a href="http://techie-buzz.com/gaming/play-skyrim-on-your-calculator.html" title="Play Skyrim On Your Calculator!">Play Skyrim On Your Calculator!</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://techie-buzz.com" title="Techie Buzz">Techie Buzz</a> written by TCA Lakshmi Narasimhan on Sunday 22nd January 2012 11:02:33 AM under <a href="http://techie-buzz.com/category/gaming" title="View all posts in Gaming" rel="category tag">Gaming</a>.
