Ti-89 Games?
 

Calculus is boring the hell out of me and I need a way to pass the time. I got one of the most recent ti-89 calculators and I'm having trouble finding up to date os's/games for it, does anyone know of any?

It's all about the http://www.ticalc.org !!!

I remember going there a TON back when I was big into wasting time during class. Now I just waste it all outside of class :p

And, by the way, I found this thread because I saw the recent searches and wondered "why did someone search for ti89 and what did they get?" So, I just wanted to say, thanks for searching before you posted! :)

yeah, ticalc.org is the place to go.

i even have a couple of ti85 programs up there.

'Phoenix' was a HUGE time waster for me in my calc class last year and it spread across my class like ebola.

Good times. :)

"Dope Wars" was all the rage in my high school, though it's probably old hat these days. I remember making a really cool modded version with some new options that spread like wildfire at my school. It's probably lost in the ether now.

Man, I can't find Snood or Dope Wars, oh well.

At least I got Phoenix Platinum Edition :)

Thank you everyone

yep, i got tetris classic, smq (space monket quest, although it strangely resembles super mario bros. :) ) and star wars (modded phoenix)

I don't think Snood exists for any of the TI's--or if it does, it's not legit.

If you want access to the good games you're going to have to go with assembly, it really shows the power of the Ti-89. I would recommend the Doors OS, since it has the largest number of supported files out there. If you have a hardware version 2 or above it might be hard to find stable versions though.

I got a friend who has a version of Snood on his TI-83 Plus Silver. I keep stealing it whenever he brings it to class :)

I remember using a TI-89 during high school a couple of years ago. Sucked because at that time the cable to hook up to the computer was 50 dollars and I wasn't going to spend that much on it, and there was only like 4 other kids with a TI-89 and none of them had games. I did program a number guessing game for it once. Which I had learned assembly to do those advanced games they have.

You know you can make your own computer connection cables, right? ;)

I don't want to hijack the thread here with this Snood thing, but before you get any more incriminating I should disclose that I work closely with Dave Dobson and I'm one of the copyright holders on Snood. ;) But there really isn't anything I can do to stop it, so to hell with it. I'd like to see it in action, see what they had to do to get the game on an 83. And maybe put it on my 83 to pass the time in Calc II. :D

chances are it's not actually Snood but more a variant of it, such as Frozen Bubble is. So long as they don't call it Snood I doubt it's actually a copyright infringement. Then again, what do I know? I've never seen the game :p

ticalc.org removed all drug related programs, as well as the porn after some parents complained.

:eek: dude, the porn on the calc was the best thing ever! :p (Seriously though, that's really stupid. If parents want to complain about something how about not educating their kids well enough so that they don't think a stupid game like drug wars will turn them into a druglord. :rolleyes:

That is so cool. Wish I'd known that back in high school, those TI cables were such a ripoff. Of course, now we just beam games back and forth on our PDAs using IR or Bluetooth. About the only use I've ever found for Bluetooth, beaming games back and forth.

man...it really is bringing back fond memories of my TI-85 with my name engraved on the back (mom's idea so it wouldnt get stolen)

:rolleyes:

Makes me wish i was back in my differential equations course...
lol
