Where are the new videos? 5 months overdue... Love your work

Hoping you make more videos - been wondering where you were. Lots of people love these, and many of the guys you talk about end up showing up in your comments!

All of that `CALL THING(x,y,z)` Stuff reminds me of the BASIC on our school's Research Machines 380Z... I only ever saw it there and not in any other implementation... never thought to look back to Dartmouth for where it must have come from.

Any plans on making more videos?

Did you use a shader for the recording of this video? I'm not totally sure, but to me the pixels in the gameplay look like they are casting a faint shadow as if they were displayed using an LCD screen.

I find myself rewatching one of these videos at least every other week.

Missing your TI-99 videos!

I miss these Tunnels of Doom videos of yours so much. Very well researched. Another thing I miss? When video games used to say, "Good Luck." Such a simple thing, but it was like a little connection between the developers and the players. I don't think any game has said that nice little message in about 40 years.

Any new videos coming out?

I sold these machines in my younger days but almost never used one. Now I have gained interest again and found your great videos. Will look trough them and follow you in the coming years. You being yourself - of course that also works fine by me. I applaud you ❤️

Awesome result 😍😍😍

Didn't TI prevent 3rd party cartridge development by not documenting how to make the TI boot off of the cartridge?

Are you a new host? The guy before had a beard and mustache.

Great video! I hope you have more videos up your sleeve for us, soon! 😀

Such a lovely port. And you played really good🙂

Loved this game played on 99/4a once played for18 hrs straight

Great! I started my computing life with TI 99 4A in 1983

please come back sweetheart!

I've heard this uses the Expander's rotation feature so you can fly backwards and shoot or rotate towar the target while resting to shoot quicker, is that right?

I just picked one of these up at a yard sale. It's great to have videos like this to learn more about the TI 99 history.

Th Completionist still in TI=99a looking for that last gem. Thank you.

WOW! Facemaker provided my sister and I endless amounts of fun. Thank you for jogging my memory

I still can't get my head around how the TI99/4A managed this, I know it's only playing an interactive cartoon, but with it's limitations to be able to decode and display at such a reasonable frame rate is amazing.

So I was very excited to get my original TI99/4A up in running after it sitting in its original box since 1987, the year we got a NES. I had to get a replacement cable since I dont have an old crt with rabbit ear connection. It worked! Loaded both Basic and a played a few carts. After I powered it off, I noticed the massive brick of a plug was making a loud buzzing noise. Sadly it looks like Im at the end of the road as I am not comfortable trying to mod the internal psu solder trick with a proper modern psu. Unless someone knows a reputable dealer in replacement power cables, Im may have to get rid of it.

Big fail here. The "Hardware Upgrades I Can't Live Without" are never shown installed and working on an actual TI-99/4A. Do you own a TI-99/4A because I do not see you using one? This video is twice as long as it has to be. You are needlessly verbose. Show more TI-99 and less you. Could have learned a lot more had you made the effort to actually record the equipment being used by you instead of phoning it in like you did. 16 minutes is long enough for all that to happen. Sorry Pixel. Almost a good video but almost is not good enough. You could easily edit in footage of your fully loaded TI-99 in action and not make the video any longer. That's what is missing here. I would subscribe for that.

This is literally the first time I've seen this machine. I'm an Apple // fanboy but this is rad.

12:55 "Theyre probably not on your radar." 😂

Welcome back! Would love to see a series on how TI homebrew has developed - hardware/software, etc. You hint toward some of it here, but doing a series on sometimes99er, Rasmus, etc, would be awesome!

Had the machine been supplied with a TMS99105A/TMS99110 and 512MB then maybe things might have been better for the TI-99/4A

Great video. I spent hundreds of hours in TI basic and was usually disappointed by the slow results. You showed a clip of a racing game - is that road race from 1982 or so? I haven’t seen that in 30 years!

I had a dream that I was in a company that used a TI-99 series computer called the TI-99/5. Unlike the ill-fated TI-99/8, which actually existed albeit only in prototype form, the TI-99/5 went into mass production albeit TI was only interested in business customers. It brought the performance of the line somewhere between a C128 and an Amiga. The built-in BASIC was very advanced and had support for things like sprites ready to go; the graphics chip was far advanced and supported high-resolution bitmap displays (F18A-like); and there was a numeric keypad, function keys, and a mouse port. Using the mouse (or the TrackPoint style pointer built into the keyboard) brought up a cursor with which you could highlight text and select menu options from any application, even BASIC. The machine was backward compatible so you could still play Munch Man or Parsec on it if you wanted to; however, few TI-99/5 customers actually did. This company where I saw them used them for viewing and editing engineering (CAD) drawings. My copy of Munch Man had the modern style art but the old black label on the cartridge. So it looks like there was a phased transition of sorts. My Parsec and Extended BASIC had the new labels (I don't think Parsec was ever released with the old label).

Nice my father bought the Texas instruments computer and this game. I was about 8 years old

My fave early 80's arcade game after zaxxon, I had the Vic20 version while basic was awesome this looks great ashame it wasn't released for ti99/4a users

You mention platformers quite a few times here, have you ever played "Spacestation Pheta?" Had the disk version back in the day, and we spent a lot of time making our own levels with the level editor.

Great video! Have you done any programming with the TI 99 / 4A?

More TI video goodness. 👍

I enjoyed the video. Thanks!

Great video! These are really enjoyable. More videos, please. 😄👍

you look great omg :)

I hope you are well and haven't forgotten about us! More TI 99/4a videos, please. 😄

Thanks for doing this. Never could figure this one out. Loved all the Scott Adams adventures, had to have the adventure cartridge then load them with cassettes if i remember right. This was the only one that was a stand alone adventure cartridge and with images.

1979 was the best...great video..p system
