AtarinDave Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Congratulations! I'm looking for a TI-99 as well! I would recommend Donkey Kong for the TI, I've played an emulator for it and it's pretty sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Just got a TI-99 w/ Munchman, TI Invaders, Parsec and A-maze-ing. Fun little machine what other games are recommended for it? It depends, on how much you want to $pend! The truth is a guy could go broke buying individual cartridges, so many people end up buying a Nano-PEB and then downloading all the games they want and running them from that device. You can get an idea of what the Nano-PEB is << HERE >> Some of my favorite games are TI-Scramble, Road Hunter, Moon Patrol, Pole Position and of course Parsec which you already have. You can also see a graphic representation and download a lot of the TI games << HERE >> Welcome Aboard! You'll enjoy the ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Hmm nifty, how much is one of those/where can I buy one? The guy sells them on eBay now and then. He'll usually put up 5 or 6 and they'll be gone in a couple of hours. The price is around $60, which comes to about what you would end up paying for a few cartridges with shipping. You might want to follow the "TI Related -- Ebay / Heads Up Notice" thread. When the guy has a few up for sale, sometimes people will put the word out there. So if you have notices activated on followed topics you'll get an email; that thread is << HERE >>. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
am1933 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 You really should look at a classic title called ZeroZap. No-don't, it is a shockingly bad game, but if you do manage to get it-everything else will look and play great by comparison. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzz73 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 If you don't already have one, I'd recommend grabbing a speech synthesizer unit. It makes any of the games that support it a little extra fun (like Parsec). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Actually I ordered it on the 8th and got it the 11th Btw whats the little door for The little door was originally going to be a place to insert other additional ROM speech modules, but they changed their minds. It's my understanding that a few of the earlier (and rare) units actually have the hardware to accept them, but all the later units did away with it. I think that extra space would be a nice place to stick a RTC, but I doubt that will ever happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwantgames:) Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 Oh ok lol. When i first opened it I heard Adam sandlar from that one movie, "you can put your weed in there" too bad I don't smoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
am1933 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 When I got my first 4a back in the dark winter of 1983-I thought that the only games around that used the speech synth were Alpiner and Parsec(living in the UK with crap software availability kind of proved me to be right)-BUT, when I got back into the 4a I was genuinely surprised by the amount of cartridge software that used the speech synth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
