Thank you all for the warm welcome! I am indeed a very newcomer.
*Edit* I didn't quite get how the quotes worked here at first. I'll make it nice next time
Well, I have to admit I have mostly been playing with games so my top 5 TI natives are:
1: Scott Adams Adventure series
2: Munch Man
3: Ambulance
4: Treasure Island
5: Parsec
From what I've heard That might change after I've had time to actually play Tunnels of Doom.
Even though this machine is new to me, I have been nostalgic about revisiting old favorites on the new toy. Burger Time and Donkey Kong are very nice on the TI, and I basically needed a nanoPEB because *INFOCOM*
One thing besides gaming I would like to try is some music stuff, I just haven't gotten to it yet.
Thanks! That book is awesome, "Terrific Games for the TI994/A".
That's funny you mention "I.T.". I got a little too big for my britches when I had my XB cart and tape recorder and spent a couple nights typing and saving on cassette. needless to say I couldn't tell how the game was actually going to play out either, not that I finished putting it in. I do mean to try again soon now that I have the nanoPEB.
I actually bought my copy of that book on amazon. After I got up and running I went searching for books and magazines, and I love buying used books on amazon. Other books that I got there are:
101 programming Tips and Tricks for the Texas Instruments TI-99/4A Home Computer
36 Texas Instruments TI-99/4A Programs for Home, School & Office
SAMS TI-99/4A: 51 Fun And Educational Programs
SAMS TI-99/4A: 24 Basic Programs (which has a case and a sealed cassette inside I have not opened, yet)
and Compute!'s First Book of TI Games
I haven't gotten into those yet and I also have some Home Computer magazines and newsletters that I got on ebay. Spring and Summer Is my busy time at work, so I have a lot of reading ready for when it's over!
