TI-99/4A - Call Say Higher

[batfly]

Mee too! TI-99/4A busted my cherry 30 years ago.

The speech synthesizer was the bomb! I loved to play the game Parsec.

[jibblesmgee]

I had one when I was a kid, one of the "bird brains" blew out, and the powersupply was damaged so we threw it out :(

[TheFunnyfilm]

I have one!

[mrbrandon71]

I got one of these for Chirstmas and used it so much the first day that I had eye strain and a headache out of this world! I was around 12, I believe! LOL!

100 CALL SAY("HARDER")

110 GOTO 100

RUN

Man, that's really good speech synthesis for something from the 1980s! That sounds almost human....

[lokuzzz]

this was my first computer :)

[cklonedotcom]

It was my families first computer too. I was 5 when we got it.

If you have a P.C., you should check Google for the TI-99/4A emulator, Classic99. It runs in windows, and turns your P.C. into a virtual TI-99/4A. It includes speech, sound, color graphics and many popular game and application cartridges from the original TI-99/4A. The applications include Extended Basic, Mini Memory and Terminal Emulator II, all of which add speech capability.

Thank you for posting this. Its petty but its part of the past

I guess this programming now is obsolete, the GoSub and GoTo commands, huh?

Thanks again. Always nice to see a TI-99/4A!
