In fact, they have had an active (and sometimes zealous) community since the machine was orphaned in 1983.<BR/><BR/>If you're looking to get a TI again, they're fairly common on eBay, along with software. Cartridges are easy to get, disk software less so.<BR/><BR/>I got some links on my site at http://www.adamantyr.com/crpg I'm working on a vintage-style CRPG for the TI at the moment.Adamantyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14962009901412877763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20638322.post-60333583305774670282007-02-06T14:00:00.000+02:002007-02-06T14:00:00.000+02:00How about "find the ti 99/4a"?How about "find the ti 99/4a"?gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03497613771780431048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20638322.post-59791365595976102962007-02-06T04:51:00.000+02:002007-02-06T04:51:00.000+02:00....cough!......ooops!...

Just 2 hours ago I was clearing a path in our attic for the guys doing some work on our house and I came across a box with my old TI 99/4A in it. <br /><br /><br />Years ago I wrote a clone of Atari Tank Combat in Extended Basic. Lately I've been working on porting it to PyGame. Would love to see the original again. Anybody know a way to read the old casettes into one of today's TI emulators?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20638322.post-79459101509757276232007-01-25T13:25:00.000+02:002007-01-25T13:25:00.000+02:00Why would you believe that Mr.FK?
