Big TI-99/4A find, plus a milestone

[Rhindle The Red]

Had my first big collecting find in a long while today (really yesterday, it's after midnight). A cream colored TI-99/4A (I still prefer my black & chrome one), 25 games (23 with instructions) and a voice module for $9.99.

 

Unfortunately, no Atari carts.

 

But this means I've got a bunch of TI-99/4A games available. If anyone collects them, e-mail me and I'll put a list of available games together for you.

 

As for the milestone, after entering the TI-99/4A games, I checked my database and I now have (including doubles, etc.) exactly 3000 games.

 

Where am I going to put them all?

isn't that a graphing calculator??

if not what is it?

(you could always rent a storage cubeish place or build some insulated shed or break some of your walls and put them in a chest in the wall,)

The TI-83 TI-83+ and TI-90(i'm pretty sure) are graphing calculators. TI-99 is one helluva an old 'puter.

 

At one point in time I had like 6 fully functionig TRS-80s and a Vic20. Unfortunately i wasn't as interested in the things as I am now. I threw them out with the trash.

 

Still got a Kaypro II kicking around though. (I shouldn't really say kicking, it's like 65lbs)

 

Anyways, I came across a BASIC cart a while back that to the best of my knowledge works with an IBM PC jr. I was just wonderinf which old computer systems made use of carts?

Heheh, looks like I'm not the only person who thinks that. No matter how good a find I get, I'm always a little disappointed that it wasn't Atari stuff (All my rarest stuff is non-Atari of course...)

I've actually never even seen a TI-99/4A. They must not have been very popular on this side of the border... How did these computers compare to the likes of the Commodore 64 and VIC-20? I'm not even sure what era they fall into...

They seem quite common here in Texas. I have no idea if that has anything to do with the name of the company. In fact, I have a ton of boxed TI 99/4a's I need to get rid of, if anyone is interested. If you'd like to learn more about the TI 99/4a, I highly suggest you visit 99er.net. This site has a great wealth of TI 99-related information, and I see it's gone through a big overhaul since the last time I visited.

There used to be a store in the Sears shopping center by my house that had a TI 99/4a computer hooked up and i remember playing TI Invaders and munchman on it all the time as a kid

 

for some reason im picturing it was in a school supply store McCalls or something like that
