OriginalJohn Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Hi Team, Back in the day, my parents bought me a close-out TI99/4a from sears which was heavily discounted. Up to that time, I had collected folders of Type In programs for different computers, Pages that I tore out of the magazine, in anticipation of some day owning 'something'.... Some of those games I typed in were found: Goblin, Compute! Issue #38 page 64 Gold Miner, Compute Issue #39 page 113 My question, has anyone made a video of the 'Compute!' series of type-in games for the TI? I'd love to see them again...

OriginalJohn Posted May 3, 2023 Author Share Posted May 3, 2023 That's great - thank you, though it looks like some games are missing (gold miner). I want to say (if memory serves) that at some point, they had some sort of checksum program that would run on the code and point out mistakes because they moved to representing code by a list of (what I thought was) hex statements. but whatever, that video takes me back!
