TI-99/4A Cassette Fun: TI BASIC Tutorials and Games
It's cassette time on the TI-99/4A! We look at a donation from viewer Kevin of a GE tape deck and cable, along with a tutorial cassette. We learn about OLD and some other TI BASIC oddities, create some kind of pixel guy, and revisit the so-called optimized BASIC program from a previous episode. Finally, I put out a call for information about MAXXAM:KARATE and then finally try a car battling game I've owned for years but have been unable to play. And somewhere along the way, tragedy strikes when the Function key is misused.
