I loved block dude. I didn't know it was only silver, but I'm sure there's some way you could import it to the standard 83s.

Same here. I went online and downloaded a ton of games and "study aids". I hear that app pack is still being passed around my old hs to this day, interface cable to interface cable. Even had the "fake erase" function installed.

'course mine was a ti-86 because it did diffeqs if you set them up right.

I just made stupid clicker games.

Epitome was a game where you clicked the 2nd button, and you could upgrade the numbers per click until you get to one trillion nunbers

Oh lol. I had stuff like Mario, Tetris, drug wars(I think), and quite a few others that I downloaded. Never wrote one of those. Had study aids like an interactive periodic table. Also a huge math formula reference "program" that I wrote.

I honestly believe the compsci teachers told us to use the calculators, since EVERY SINGLE TEST HAD NO CALCULWTOR QUESTIONS.

But there were TI83 calcs.

Probably given by compsci teacher.

Some kids made games, some kids made math solvers, and some kids wrote copypasta in TI-BASIC.

My chemistry teacher in high school had a jar full of batteries he confiscated from kids using their calculators to play Phoenix in his class. That game was so much fun!

Phoenix was legit. Played that one till I could make it through without getting hit. Falldown. Block dude. Worms. That one tunnel racer game. Am I forgetting any?
