[kyle]

Picked up two of these today both for $5 bucks!! They work awesome but they only had one game for it sarsick. bUT WHY I GOT THEM BESIDES THE AWESOME PRICE IS I SAW A BUNCH OF GAMES FOR THE SYSTEM AT MY LOCAL SALVATION ARMY THE OTHER DAY. So anyway im gonna go tomorrow and see if they still have the games im sure they do they had a tone of em so what games are good if any?

[Paul Slocum]

Some good ones are: Parsec, TI Invaders, Hunt the Wumpus, Car Wars, Alpiner, and most of the arcade ports are great.

 

Anyone ever been able to find the 99/4a expansion slot box? I've never been able to find one.

I have two games for TI-99 and two joysticks, got them at goodwill. They are Adventure and TI Invaders, I dont have a TI computer to play them on. Do you have any Turbo graffx 16 games to trade? If not you can have them for $5.00.

In addition to those mentioned elsewhere: BurgerTime, Jawbreaker II, Munchman, Space Journey, Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator, Q*Bert, and all Atarisoft games (Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, etc.)

 

If you find you like the system, I have dozens of carts avaiable for it. Just e-mail me for a list w/ prices

Do you mean the Speech Synthesizer or something else? I believe I have an extra SS.

Be aware that the Adventure cartridge cannot be used without a cassette tape to go along with it. The pack-in was Pirate Adventure. Others available included The Golden Voyage and Strange Odyssey.

You speak of solaronite, but just what is it?

It's a large box about the size of a PC that attaches to the TI and has slots for cards (kind of like an ISA bus) and spaces for disk drives.

 Parsec, TI Invaders, Hunt the Wumpus, Car Wars, Alpiner,

 

Except for Wumpus and Cars, I have all of those (well, all 3). Alpiner And TI Invaders get the most play, I can't really get into Parsec.

 

So there's Pac-Man and Donkey Kong for the thing? I'd love to give those games a try.

[Varan]

Hunt the Wumpus is cool.

 

Did you get a cassette player for it? If so, I recommend Adventure and Tunnels of Doom.

I've seen it turn up in thrift stores on two separate occasions. The first time I saw it I had no idea what it was. The second time I knew what it was, knew that it was rare and a steal for $2, but I still didn't want it.

 

I still don't want it.
