TI Invaders on Texas Instruments TI99/4A vintage home computer

http://www.retrogamingcollector.com ----------------

TI Invaders playing on the Texas Instruments TI 99/4A vintage home computer. Classic retro gaming on probably the first 16 bit home computer.

This is not a review, walkthrough, playthrough, or demonstration of my playing ability.
It's simply a quick demonstration of the game so that anyone not familiar with these old games can see what it looks like.
It's also here so that I can embed it, along with most of the games in my collection, on my website (see link above).

Any opinions or comments I make regarding these games should largely be taken with a pinch of salt.
They are usually based on my first impressions after a very brief play.

Just been searching around your vids looking for TI Invaders, I've just won a TI 99 4A with the Speech Synthesis module and a copy of this game, it looks like a fantastic SI clone, love the next ship animation, cant wait to play it :P

@atombat It plays really well. I think you'll enjoy it :)

Nice Video. I was wondering though. I have the oppurtuunity to get a TI-99/4A with disk drives, speech synth, controllers, expansion, expander to hold three carts at once, games and software, all the hook ups and a few other items for free, absolutly free and there is nothing wrong with it. Would you consider it a good deal and getting it or is it not worth it. I already have a Atari 7800 but no 8-bit computers as of yet.

[SteveBenway]

The only way that could be a better deal is if they paid you to take it.

[ATARI800XLfan]

Thank you for the quick response. So if it were you, you would take it.

[SteveBenway]

Without hesitation.

I'm puzzled that you ask, to be honest. A free vintage computer is a great thing to be offered, whatever type it is.

If however you're wondering, is it super rare, or does it have super amazing capabilities beyond anything else at the time?... then no... but it does have the destinction of being the first 16 bit come computer.

Highly enjoyable, thank you..

What an original game. I wonder if they also had TI Man, TI tres, and coming soon TI craft.

Wow! The TI-99/4A! My father originally wanted me to get one of these computers, because he had a Texas Instruments calculator which he really liked. He actually wanted me to tell the computer shop staff this! (Ahem).

I hasten to add I ended up getting a Spectrum 48K.

By the way I have decided to take the computer I thought about a bit more and decided It would be foolish to base it up and also the owner said that if I did not take it he was going to throw it all away.

[ATARI800XLfan]

Thank you for the quick response. The reason I ask is that I guess I am still suprised myself that I was able to find one. I had always planned and figured I would have found a Atari first or a commadore as they were popular and as it would probably be the last system I would get for a while I was wondering what other people's opinions were. I would not be thinking about it as much except for the fact that my parents already think I have enough and I do not know how they fill If I got a computer
