Anyone in here have a Texas Instruments TI-83 calculator?

Nibbles is a good game too. Dragan, a link cable that goes between two calculators comes standard with all TI Graphing Calculators. You can use that to transfer games directly from the people who have games' calculators, to yours.

Stevie, I also do something similar. On a graphing calculator you can type in as many numbers or functions on the screen as you want, so I'll take an entire class period, or 20 minutes, or whatever, and type....

As much as possible, and then hit [CLEAR] and measure how long it takes the calculator to delete everything you typed in. I think the record is around 30 seconds.

A friend of mine filled the whole TI-82 memory with 8's... it took about 4 days

I remember playing calculator games at school!

However, in my day they were Cambridge Scientific Instruments (later Sinclair) calcies and the only games you could play were:

1] making rude words by viewing the display upside down
2] speed trials. To do this you pressed 1+ followed by = as many times as you could in the allotted time (usually 30 secs). These calcies had clicky keys, rather than the soft touch ones we get today, so the idea was to get a tremor going in your index finger on the click point. i think the best was over 100 in 30 seconds.

The only words I know how to make is "hell"(4311) and "Boobies"(8008135)
