InfernalKeith Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 (edited) Going through some old boxes of stuff tonight, and found this. Ah, the 'computer wars' days... can you imagine how brutal forums like these would be back then, with all these different platform users coming together? It'd be constant warfare.

Opry99er Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Ahhh--- I'd like to have that to put on my guitar!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybird3rd Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I wonder if that number is still in service. Might be fun to give them a call. "Hello? Yes, I saw your bumper sticker, and I was just wondering: do you still eat Apples for lunch?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfernalKeith Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 Owen, I'm psyched to put it on something, but I'm afraid of picking the wrong thing and having it not be as visible as it deserves. I'll probably wait till my basement room is finished and put it somewhere in a place of honor. I have another one somewhere with "I (heart) TI 99/4A" in that classic 'computer letters' font... they'll have to go up together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Damn.... Well, I was going to offer my prized *The Attack cart as trade collateral. How about 10 Household Budget Management carts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opry99er Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I'll see your "Teach Yourself BASIC" tapes and raise you a pair of wired remote joysticks.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfernalKeith Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 I'll see your "Teach Yourself BASIC" tapes and raise you a pair of wired remote joysticks.... ONLY if the second stick doesn't work at all and fire button #1 only shoots when you hit it with a brick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I thought that was standard on all??? Is it not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfernalKeith Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 I thought that was standard on all??? Is it not? Due to a factory glitch, a few actually made it out that work like a charm, but they fixed that problem right quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Yea--- my speech synth only cusses... It was a modification on the original TI-99/4. Parsec-- "Press Fu** to begin" Alpiner-- "You f**ing a**hole, that was a dumb move!!" Early Learning Fun-- "Are you a f***in' retard?!" Yea--- I don't even know if that Alpiner one is a mod.... That announcer is a sarcastic b*tch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchase1970 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I thought that was standard on all??? Is it not? They were designed to malfunction, it makes playing games with them more challenging. Really, how easy would TI Invaders be if it shoot a bullet everytime you wanted it to.

Man that so 80's, I use the PROPLAY game pad, the only new game controller designed for the TI in 20 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+OLD CS1 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 God, I'm rusty!!!! First time through I got whacked... second time... not too much better I never used anything but the original TI controllers with my (the family) TI. In fact, the same ones we had forever. I guess I got one of the rare sets that worked. In later years I had an Atari adapter and used an Epyx joystick, but for some reason I am locked into playing certain platforms with the "proper" controllers or I cannot play for spit. Anyway, I was happy to discover that I could still hit the saucer down to pixel size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
