TI-99/4A User Demographics

[CantStopClicking]

You can imagine my excitement when I got back into the TI back in about 2005, when I was moving home I found a box in the loft containing a solitary Atarisoft Defender cartridge and all of my old tape software which I was sure I had given away with my original 4a.

I had Troll King, The Black Tower and Hunchback Havoc(all by Lantern software), Mania(Intrigue software), Fun Pac2(Virgin games) and Toad Graphics(Timeless software), I still have them all and they still work(yes I do sometimes still use my tape deck)

I should point out my tape collection is now a little bit bigger

 

That's about the same time I got back into the TI, ~2005. I dropped out back in '92 or so when my Geneve blew up. I was so pissed that I gave everything away, and I had a lot of shtuff!

 

And the only reason I got back into it was for roughly the same reason; around 2005 I ran across some TI disks that I had written some software on long long ago and thought to myself it'd be kinda cool to check that out again. Hit up Craigslist & eBay for a used TI and ten years later I have a boatload of stuff I've collected.

 

Then the economy took a sh*t and life took a major down turn for me and everything went into boxes until relatively recently when I decided I have enough stuff it's time to let the extra stuff go to someone else who can really use it. Slim down to the basics and focus on something instead of being overwhelmed by an overzealous ambition to do everything I always wanted to do with the TI! LOL

 

Regardless, it's been a super fun experience and I hope to keep plugging away for years to come.

 

Cheers!
