I remember using that calculator in grade 10 math near the turn of the Millenium. It blew my mind when my friend borrowed it one night to install all these games on it, it was like having a Gameboy that you were "allowed to use in class". I did not do well in Math that year
I know right? In 1998-99 the only thing more exciting than learning I could download games on my TI-83 was discovering what MP3s were and how to download them.
Love the schmaltzy jazz being played in the background. I’m a sax player and these kinds of studio recordings are my bread and butter. Thanks for helping me continue to work.
I remember in middle school when we were first expected to have one of these calculators. You could borrow a TI-82 from the school, but many of the kids brought their own TI-83. Lots of games being passed around between those with the same model. Except for me - my dear mother found a TI-85 on ebay for $30 and believed she was getting a great deal, since it's a bigger number, it has to be a newer model! Well it wasn't because the TI naming scheme is weird, and I used that thing all through high school and up to college. I must say it got me into coding though. Whenever there was a program needed for the class, while everyone was copying it between themselves, I was sitting there looking at the TI-BASIC code on a 82 or 83 trying to frantically rewrite it into the 85's dialect.
After TI-85 the next improved model was the TI-86 with a little bit more memory and rounded edges... So at least until that point the numbering was normal.
Always fun to find videos like this. Thanks LGR. Back in jr high, so circa 2000, I programmed my entire C++ end of the year project both in the required language and in TI Basic using only their thick ass instruction manual of commands. Very satisfying. Doom was def one that I tried on the ti-89.
You guys are all tripping, in 80 years the "trusty" TI-8x series will still be around... The damn thing should have died before I went thru school and I graduated in 2001.
Fun fact: these calculators do make noise! If you have a radio, you can tune it to a station without a signal. Then if you put the calculator near the radio, it will make VERY calculating noises as it runs programs. IIRC, there are some programs written in Assembly that take advantage of this odd quirk to actually play sound effects and music.
Had Ti85 back in 95 and it was pretty amazing back then since portables like palmtops and laptops especially were way out of price consideration yet this device was an achievable purchase that could do so much.
My school gave me one of these for calculus and I've become very interested in its programming capabilities. I've been diligently learning how to write programs in its basic language on the calculator itself. It's been useful for both useful math programs and simple time wasters such as number guessing games and dice. Love these things now
One of the pre-installed applications included a dice roll simulator. Not as useful in the system itself as writing your own BASIC program, but it still has its uses.
Basic is certainly easier, but the more impressive games were/are written in assembly language. This is often why you need to launch them from a 'shell' as they were called from memory.
Wow dude, that has to be probably the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen. Who would’ve thought you’d even be able to play video games on a calculator? That’s actually really cool and incredible. I never would’ve imagined it not even mentioning playing DOOM of all things. This is fascinating stuff right here.
@@RadioMan2023 Except it wasn't. It was being fed a very basic 'video' feed, basically a signal saying which dots to light up. Still cool, but nothing like running a game.
I've played angry birds on a refrigerator powered by Android. It's not Doom, but then again, you shouldn't be playing Doom on a fridge touch screen. Just not meant for that.
Well, that isn't really a surprise, considering what a PC is and what claculator means ... It's the same in German, just with our local translatio of calculator. That it is the actual word ist still interesting. Did you just take it straight out of English or is your word for claculating already similar?
When I was in Mechanical Engineering in the early '90s, our professor gave us Pac-Man and Joust for our HP 48SX's. Still have that 48SX! Great shape, great memories!
@ Oh I agree with you completely on this! My HP 48SX I was talking about was my "calculator" from the early 90's. It was arguably one of the best calculators ever made! The 48SX, 48GX are legends! I wasn't talking about Intel's x86 architecture, especially the SX series. Sorry for the confusion.
@@ricklynch Personally I found them hard to use. For a tertiary course in the mid-late 90s most students were using them, I compared one with a ti92 & ti83 and found the ti92 much easier to use than both. A friend even sold his HP to get a ti92 as he likewise found it much easier. Albeit the 92 had it's own daft weaknesses such as much code seemingly being written in basic, which dragged it's quite powerful cpu, and of course it was huge(though that had benefits such as the qwerty keyboard) The screen was also terrible for games.
'One day, I bought a used caculator for school, but when I turned it on, all the numbers seem to drip. And when one of the problems I had equaled 666... It corrupted and showed a spooky face then turned off. When I turned it on... It tried to suck me into it'
Back in the 90s, I thought these things were so cool as were the math nerds who carried them. I’m kinda shocked they’re the same price now as they were then IIRC 🤭
Because Texas instruments knows that they have the monopoly for schools and they know that people will HAVE to buy the calculator so they know they can get away with charging more for it. Just like the electric company or the gas company can raise its prices and they know you'll pay because you have no other choice.
@@Fractal_blip LGR went over it in the addendum concerning TI. Because of their influence over determining education curriculum, most standardized tests only allow specific TI branded devices and no others. That's why they're able to charge ridiculous prices for literally decades old tech.
I think I had to buy a TI three times bc I kept losing them. And I probably used them a dozen times in my four years of hs. Not a great value but we were required by my hs to have one
Rounak Dutta Gaming on a calculator when I was in high school was far from unusual or weird. What's weird to me is that someone attempted smash on a calculator! The weirdest thing I ever did was listen to Duke Nukem samples through the communication port. "Damn, I'm looking good!" in 4 bit wave glory.
DoomRater I never saw someone gaming on a calc in my entire life mainly because when I was in school we didn't have any Ti calculators here, we used Casio calculators which didn't support any apps and stuff.
Rounak Dutta I feel for ya. I had to fight for my right to use a TI calculator and even then I managed to lose it after high school. I do own two calculators of my own though and I think my fiance owns an 84 plus.
DoomRater I don't think I missed much, you see we never had Ti cals in india most people here know Ti as a silicone manufacturer. I actually had a PSP while growing up so I never actually missed handheld gaming while growing up. lol
Andrew Erwin As an amateur, I wrote a lotto simulator and trinomial factoring program quite popular with students. TI Basic was my favorite programming language, and I went on to learn Java, and C++.
We were cleaning out a math office and the teacher rewarded us with ti 83s. I saw her throw away a box full of link cables and it turns out they cost $12 on eBay! RIP.
Paul Venn I think it was, the TI83 has been out a long time, I remember it when I was like 16 about 13 years ago, guys were playing games back then too.
As a European with a more modest calculator I'm wondering was cheating in exams rampant with these sort of calculators? Maybe the format of your exams relied less on memorisation. Also, but can it run Crysis?
Typically before an important exam, we had to turn in our calculators to have the memory wiped, or were just given a school calculator to use that doesn't have any software on it.
I actually was able to use my TI-84 fully without wiping it and found a pretty neat notepad application I was able to write notes on my PC and then transfer it to the calc. That was I could cheat a bit, but the memory was limited and it was hard to write stuff for it, but it did save my ass quite a few times.
Back in my high school days (early 2000s) the only time this was checked for me was for the big national standardized exams (SATs/ACTs.) None of my teachers ever checked my calculator, either in high school or college
As a fellow European, graphing calculators like this (I had the TI-84 Plus myself) were actually mandatory for the higher levels in high school, we were allowed to use some self written programs for basic formulas for economics and such, but we had to turn them in to have them wiped when it came to maths.
It's 2018 and a Graphing Calculator that only displays text, uses a reflective LCD screen, and more ghosting than an original Gameboy still costs 100 bucks.
and then, you get The only Calculator (that i know) that as a Backlit-LCD Screen, A.K.A the most expensive calculator i know, althought, i've forgotten the name of it XD

Vitorruy1 Nope they wouldn't let those in class.... but I had a math teacher fresh out of college.... 😗
Back in the 90s, I thought these things were so cool as were the math nerds who carried them. I’m kinda shocked they’re the same price now as they were then IIRC 🤭
Well, they're still just as useful as back then, this video being a perfect example 😆
Because Texas instruments knows that they have the monopoly for schools and they know that people will HAVE to buy the calculator so they know they can get away with charging more for it. Just like the electric company or the gas company can raise its prices and they know you'll pay because you have no other choice.
@@Fractal_blip LGR went over it in the addendum concerning TI. Because of their influence over determining education curriculum, most standardized tests only allow specific TI branded devices and no others. That's why they're able to charge ridiculous prices for literally decades old tech.
I think I had to buy a TI three times bc I kept losing them. And I probably used them a dozen times in my four years of hs. Not a great value but we were required by my hs to have one

Probably in about next 20-40 years even fans will have sufficient advanced microprocessors to make this possible.

Rounak Dutta the most true comment on youtube
Rounak Dutta Gaming on a calculator when I was in high school was far from unusual or weird. What's weird to me is that someone attempted smash on a calculator! The weirdest thing I ever did was listen to Duke Nukem samples through the communication port. "Damn, I'm looking good!" in 4 bit wave glory.
DoomRater I never saw someone gaming on a calc in my entire life mainly because when I was in school we didn't have any Ti calculators here, we used Casio calculators which didn't support any apps and stuff.
Rounak Dutta I feel for ya. I had to fight for my right to use a TI calculator and even then I managed to lose it after high school. I do own two calculators of my own though and I think my fiance owns an 84 plus.
DoomRater I don't think I missed much, you see we never had Ti cals in india most people here know Ti as a silicone manufacturer. I actually had a PSP while growing up so I never actually missed handheld gaming while growing up. lol

Andrew Erwin As an amateur, I wrote a lotto simulator and trinomial factoring program quite popular with students. TI Basic was my favorite programming language, and I went on to learn Java, and C++.

When you have these calculators at school.
You waste your time on games!
Time flies when you're having fun.
We were cleaning out a math office and the teacher rewarded us with ti 83s. I saw her throw away a box full of link cables and it turns out they cost $12 on eBay! RIP.
you should have dug through that trash and kept them all :/
at least it's faster than internet explorer

That is hands down some of the coolest shit ever. Wish this was around 12+ years ago when I was in high school haha
Paul Venn I think it was, the TI83 has been out a long time, I remember it when I was like 16 about 13 years ago, guys were playing games back then too.
Paul Venn It was--i was in high school at that time too and that's when I figured all this out haha
These calculators are form the '90s, even my TI-89 that I still have.
Remember Digimon? Have you done a video on that? Our boss bought us all digimons back in the day. Real team builder 👍
As a European with a more modest calculator I'm wondering was cheating in exams rampant with these sort of calculators? Maybe the format of your exams relied less on memorisation.
Also, but can it run Crysis?
Typically before an important exam, we had to turn in our calculators to have the memory wiped, or were just given a school calculator to use that doesn't have any software on it.
I actually was able to use my TI-84 fully without wiping it and found a pretty neat notepad application I was able to write notes on my PC and then transfer it to the calc. That was I could cheat a bit, but the memory was limited and it was hard to write stuff for it, but it did save my ass quite a few times.
That was until Smartwatches came around, I used one and put all of my text files on there, then use it to cheat.
Back in my high school days (early 2000s) the only time this was checked for me was for the big national standardized exams (SATs/ACTs.) None of my teachers ever checked my calculator, either in high school or college
As a fellow European, graphing calculators like this (I had the TI-84 Plus myself) were actually mandatory for the higher levels in high school, we were allowed to use some self written programs for basic formulas for economics and such, but we had to turn them in to have them wiped when it came to maths.
So that's the machine that my teammates in MOBAs use to play
Wow, that Duke Nukem impression was perfect.

It's 2018 and a Graphing Calculator that only displays text, uses a reflective LCD screen, and more ghosting than an original Gameboy still costs 100 bucks.
