Awful graphics.  Atari-like.

@nitturo TheTI99/4A uses the same graphics and sound chips that were used in MSX and the Colecovision. However the TI99/4A used a different CPU. MSX and Colecovision both use an 8 bit Z80 while the TI99/4A used a 16-bit TMS9900. And of course the memory addresses where the chips were located on all three machines were all different. With some code editing MSX and Colocovision software can be converted to work on each other, this isn't possible with the TI99 because the CPU is different.

I cannot get this emulator to work for shit ! How do you do it ?

[nitturo]

knowing what i know from msx1 hardware, and knowing TI99/4A has so close hardware (maybe the same), this game could be hugelly better, maybe even close to the arcade original (of course, with some glitch noises from the hardware limitation in 'text' (pattern) mode): watch?v=NUU_F9TvXco

The TI was never developed for the gaming market..More on the lines of scientific and educational ...

That's why it was never a hit with kids...
