turboStar Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I'll just show you guys in an upload to youtube. I would fancy myself a TI99 noob with NO experience with the beast. I'd be tempted to offer a trade if someone were to PM me an offer. I'd personally LOVE to find me a Tandy CoCo2 somewheres =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 shubibinman, that was an epic find. I loved that video. There's some excellent games in that lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littleman jack Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Lucky find! There are many really excellent games for the TI99/4A. Parsec, Donkey Kong, Shamus, and Hunt the Wumpus come to mind. All the Atari games were really good. Some were even better than what Atari did for the 400/800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesD Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I'd personally LOVE to find me a Tandy CoCo2 somewheres =) Look for one labeled Tandy rather than Radio Shack and manufactured in Korea. That's the later model with true lower case characters if you poke to a certain address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osbo Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Dude, I'm envious! What a great find!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snume Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Our favorites were Parsec, Alpiner, Chisholm Trail, Tombstone City and Munchman. You have quite a few goodies there for sure. Would you be interested in parting with one of your Extended Basics? Maybe some of your other doubles? Shoot me a PM if you are.

darthkur Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 That was indeed a great find. You've got some rare carts in that bunch too. I am extremely envious. The obsessive collector in my wants to get those off you but the "nice guy" part suggests that you keep everything and have a blast with it. The TI is a great system and can be extremely fun. Getting A/V cables is quite easy. Here's where I've got mine and it's only $5: http://www.8bitclassics.com/TI-99/Peripherals/5-Pin-DIN-to-RCA-AV-Cable-6-Ft-New.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tremoloman2006 Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 TurboStar, I STRONGLY recommend trying out the TI before you get rid of it. The TI is an excellent gaming system and has some outstanding titles. Q*Bert, Donkey Kong, Popeye, Parsec, TI Invaders (best SI clone ever!), Munchman, and many others! Carts aren't expensive either so getting a cool collection won't take long. Long live the TI! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toymailman Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Coming in late to this thread but that is a great find! I just got a TI-99/4A myself and some of the games are quite fun. What a score for 20 bucks! My only issue is that I don't have a console where all the keys work. Were these keyboards prone to failure? Is there an easy way to repair them? I now have three systems (trying to find one that works 100%) and on one of them ONLY the "0" key works, on another about half the keys work and the third all keys work except "8" and "K" (so close).

vintagegamecrazy Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 The TI is an amazing classic computer and my favorite of that era. Great epic find, you'll more than enjoy those games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
