Key 2:

 

- Use the key you usually use to place a 2 into a spreadsheet.

 

- If you are using a numeric keypad be aware that some emulators start up apparently out of sync with your num lock key- if your num lock key is lit as active, you may need to toggle it twice to ensure the emulator reacts to it- press num lock and try 2, then press num lock again and try two again. One way should function, otherwise use the 2 on the top row of your keyboard.

 

Worth noting- the TI99/4a was not sold with support for mice. Most input was keyboard based. Many inputs required capital letters only.

 

However a few games were joystick only, some used either joystick, some used only joystick 1 and some only joystick 2. You will need to see if your emulator can "force" the use of keys instead of a joystick.

 

Games which used either joystick or keyboard generally used keys ESDX for movement and Q or space for fire- but programmers often used other keys instead so look for documentation.
