I remember playing a lot with my old TI-83. One of the most impressive games was DOOM: http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/238/23843.html Best video I can find: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuupoxmeQ6U

Unfortunately I never had a TI-89. Would've been awesome if I had one back in the day, and then test these games: http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/405/40593.html and http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/323/32318.html

Ah yeah, good stuff. I was always partial to Gemini and Wolf on the 83+ (http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/247/24742.html, http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/277/27767.html). Wolf even had an on-calculator level editor!

Gemini blew the socks off of all my middle school friends, but I'm embarrassed by the amount of time I spent on Galaxian in math class. Maybe one of these days, I'll dig out my 83+ and complete the no laser, no death run that I was always aiming for, just for old time's sake.

In hindsight, I wish I had spent that time learning Z80 instead...

I always find it funny that someone actually ported Fruit Ninja. http://tiwizard.com/downloads/fruit-ninja/

The controls are pretty clever too.
