[New TI-99/4A Tunnels of Doom(TOD) game and Game Editor]

Fritz442: Just tried the editor out. My jaw is still on the floor, I have to reach around it to type. This is incredible! I can't believe how well this is designed, thank you so much for making this!

Fritz442: I just downloaded the editor and had the same reaction as CyberTaco. Wow - simply amazing. I can't believe how much depth the editor has while making it so incredibly easy to make our very own Tunnels of Doom games. I'm looking forward to diving in and making a personalized game that me and my son can play together.

 

Thanks so much for creating this!

[TI-99 Chronological Software Release Timeline]

Hi Keith99er,

 

I came across this TI-99/4A Cartridge List in Excel format with almost 250 titles that includes a column with the release date (year). It looks like this person created it for his personal inventory tracking. I haven't verified how accurate or extensive it is, but it's been pretty useful tool for me as I begin to rebuild my 99/4A system and collection.

Hope this is helpful!

[Extended Basic v2.7 Suite Cartridge]

I can also supply complete cartridges with labels, as I still have a few chipsets from Tony (it is best to ask him first, however, as he usually sends me a chipset for someone and I assemble it into a complete cartridge and send it on to them).

I'm definitely interested in a complete cartridge if one's available. I sent you a separate PM - let me know you have one to to spare that I can purchase.

 

Thanks!

[TI-99 and Computer Monitor Help]

You could also just get a small LCD TV with video/audio inputs and use a composite cable with that. RCA jacks with yellow (video) and audio (red and white) are the inputs on the TV for this. The result is quite satisfactory and you don't need to spend a lot of money to do it.

This is similar to the route I went just this past week to connect the TI-99/4A I bought off Craigslist. I bought a used Dell monitor at Goodwill for $29 that has a composite video input as well as VGA and DVI inputs. The monitor is about 7 years old but has great picture quality. I made my own composite cable yesterday. The monitor doesn't have built-in speakers so I just have the audio (red and white) outputs connected to some powered speakers (Parsec sounds great through these speakers). Later, I plan to purchase and install the F18A - and I'll be able to use the same monitor!

[Silly memory related question.]

Thanks for the great question and detailed reply. This provides a lot of insight into some of the unrealized potential of TI-99/4A. If only TI had persevered, stayed in the home computer market, who knows what might have been.
