The best detail, though? It’s all made with components available in 1983! We see a lot of retro builds that are the equivalent of throwing a modern fuel-injected V8 into a vintage muscle car, and they are fantastic – but this is a project that shows us what was possible way back when. It’s then all wrapped up in a very tidy looking case of somewhat unclear construction it appears to be modified from an existing small computer case, and then refinished to look almost stock. rolls in such features as Atari-compatible joystick ports, slot connectors for PeBOX expansion cards, and an RGB video output. With a strong underlying knowledge of what makes a TI-99/4A tick, he set out to pen his own take on an extended model. Having spent many years working on these machines, was very familiar with the official TI schematics – regarding both their proper use and their errors, omissions and inaccuracies. Years later, that led to produce the TI(ny), his take on an upgraded, more integrated TI-99/4A (Google Translate link). However once it had been discontinued, fans were left wanting more from the platform.

We love the two tiers of toggles here - the important ones are separated with 3D-printed Space Shuttle-style switch guards, and the super-important toggles have flip-up covers to protect them from errant flicks of the hand. See the badges?Īfter donating the usable parts deemed unnecessary for space exploration, had even more room inside the case for the throng of toggles that make this controller so touchable. Besides, this is a KAL 9000 from Kexas Instruments. Cool your jets - no fully-functioning TI-99/4As were harmed in the making of this baby.

Heres a link to the youtube video of level 6 repeating: Keep up the good work - Stan. Had never gotten past level 4 in that game but now I have beaten it too. Since then Ive not been able to stop playing Thank you for the hint to hold both fire keys down, I wasnt able to ever get past level 3 in all my years of playing (our original TI99 system died when I was 12 Im 38 now) but after discovering that little glitch, I was able to effectively beat the game After that I tried my hand at Car Wars.
