- Texas Instruments TI-99 A
So many firsts with this guy.
- First time disk drive
- First voice synth
- First time making a voice synth cuss
- First time I bought a game and loaded it via a cassette tape
- First code I ever wrote
And while I wasn’t to play games on it, I do remember my Dad in my room while I was asleep playing Munch Man at 3 in the morning.
To this day I can remember one of the football coaches in my youth league working as a TI salesman at K-mart when they had a booth for the 99-A in their store. He’d let me mess around with it to show how kids take to computers like ducks to water. Later when TI pulled the salesmen, I would throw down a three line print screen command with a loop to see how long it would run before someone would notice and reset it.
