TI Graphing Calculator Games

How many of you have TI's? Have games on them? I have the Mirage OS on mine, with about 12 different games. Some suck though...

I have Mirage OS too, 8 games and the only two that are enjoyable are duckhunt and the tank one... Mars Patrol?

In Senior year of HS I had a TI-83 Plus and had a crapload of games which used Ion as the game selection OS. Even though then I didn't have the cord to connect the TI to the computer, I was the main hookup for games and used my calculator as the dump for any new games floating around, and I also mastered Ion to get people playing games quickly and could troubleshoot any problem that came about.

After HS ended, I needed a TI-89 for Calc in college, so I got that and downloaded a few games my first semester, but haven't used it much since then. Once I have time, I plan to get a bunch of games for it online, and next week I'm probably going to take my TI-83 Plus back from my brother since Stats uses that primarily and I'm too lazy to learn the commands and functions that changed in the versions. Hopefully he has lots of games on it, hehe.

Let's see, all the games I've got on my faithful Silver:

Baseball '99 (annoying but fun)
BomberKids (good too but only for 2-4 players)
Fifth Element (cheap version of Connect Four, somehow the computer always wins)
Fast Tunnel (You maneuver a exponent sign (^) through a tunnel at high speed. Fun!)
Frawg Guts (cheap version of Frogger)
HicQuest 3 (superstupid. It's a basic program where you control a drunk.)
Lotus Turbo Challenge (Race car game. I get moderate scores but never win, and had to have someone get me more levels)
Super Mario (My god, this is addictive. The only problem is that is has no more than 4 levels and at the end of the 4th one the only object is to quit or lose all your lives to a barely visible flying monster)
Mars Patrol (Shoot spaceships and try to keep your own lander from crashing)
Super Duper Pong (We all know what this is. It's hard!)
Sub Hunt (Shoot enemy ships ahead and try not to let them shoot you)
FallDown (Maneuver a cube through... imagine a shelf with broken parts like this

___________ _

_______ ____


It goes on for as long as you can keep going. There's a FallUp too.
I had four more but I don't know where they went. There was one where a pimp had to recover prostitutes who had run off. Of course, they were never referred to as prostitutes; instead "bitches" and "ho's." It was pretty funny, but it dissappeared.

Then there's the PuzzPack (short for PuzzlePack) which comes with the Silver Edition. It's got Block Dude (Mario-like builder must use blocks to get to end of levels), Puzzle Frenzy (switch pieces around until they dissappear), Pegs (shove shapes together until they all dissappear), and Dino Frenzy (try to match dinosaur shaped thingies together)

My god, I can't believe I typed all that.

I had a TI-83 when I was a freshman, and had some awesome games on it! I had Fall Down, Avalanche (help a stick-figure avoid the falling icicles), R-type (kinda like that tunnel game), Breakout (blockball), Galaxian/Galactica, BlockMan, and a DragonballZ game (someone I knew actually created it on his calculator. This was a weird game, but fun! It only played until Goku fights Vegeta, and Vegeta was impossible to beat.) (All of these were on Ion). I had a lot more, but those were the ones I played the most. However, my calc got stolen (and I had this really cool pic of Rei on it, too! It was a sticker that I loved!!) I got another one this year, because my pre-calculus teacher required it. And now I have MirageOS, with Bust-A-Move, Breakout, Bytes (Make the worm/snake eat the apples and grow), and around 5 others that I listed above.

Dear God, I know the feeling.

Joey: The question is, Rachel, does he like you? ''Cuz if he doesn''t, then it''s all just a moo point.
Rachel: Huh...a...moo point?
Joey: Yeah. It''''s like a cow''s opinion. It doesn''t matter....It''s moo.
