I'm eager to play some Ti-99 games.... just all my c64 seems to have been breaking recently... first the monitor then the computer now every selling has flaked out on me.... just really soured me on it.... Yall are so dang kind!

I'll be sure to check em out!

But what letter!

Thanks to the awesome Ksarul who gifted me the computer! I just love the polished metal on this thing but I have to say it's a bit terrifying to set up! The large RF modulator brick and then the dongle that glued to the end of the power cord! I can't wait to pick up stuff to play on this thing! So uhhh where is the back space...?

I've been going to various flea markets recently and I keep finding really crusty Ti-99/4a RF modulator bricks but never the computer. Anyone else got some TI-99/4a's around your area.

Woo I turned 18 and now I have far too many gift cards.... Guess I better find a system now!

I am not programming savvy! The most I can do is type-in program And.... maybe some realllyyy basic stuff.

How hard would it be to find all of those things? Also you are really freaking awesome man. thank ya so much

I'm here on the west end of Henrico country. So... pretty much a stones throw from Richmond. Wanted to pick one of these bad boys up for my 18th B-Day

I'm here in Virginia! The TI-99/4a looks gorgeous... although I might just be a sucker for polished metal.

All I know is. A. It has a mug warmer. B. There is a speech synthesizer for it C. It's a bit modular. Fill me in on the rest The biggest thing I am interested is the synthesized speech.

I found it at a flea market outside of Richmond International Raceway! Still rubbing it in my moms face about Finding it Also got a 150$ lego set for about 10 and Electronic football for about 10 . Lots of cool stuff hahah

Wooowww... I lucked out with my 5$ bill! Hmmm any neat things that I should know of for the 800Xl Any games that are a must play? Edit I also have to say I really like the feel of the 800XL... I kinda want to look for a normal 80 because of the 2 cart slots... I saw something too a while ago but never picked it up... It was called like an Atari programmer and had a zx81 type keyboard I think

Oh I have to ask... why is my power brick the most desirable? And I might have to repair the cord soon it's starting to come apart with age

I've been collecting Commodore for a while and been hanging out over on Lemon64. I found the computer in a bin out there and after I bought it the son or something went... Hey we found these too take em! I doubt the drive is working but its worth a shot I mostly picked up ET for the name alone. I run a retro tech club at my high school. And... well a good chunk of folks thing ET/Atari to the story about em being buried in the desert.

Hey ther a couple months ago I picked up an Atari 800XL and a drive from a flea market for a whopping 5 dollars! It works wonderfully but the only problem is I don't have the power supply or the serial cable for the drive! I did pick up a cart of ET later on though! Anyways it works wonderfully! The computer anyways not sure about the drive since I have no cables for it! Anything I should know about this computer? It's been a blast so far without any way to save -Papa_Bear
