Pokemon on the TI-83? What Ever Happened to Pimp Quest?
"You can't play video games in math class!"
I know I'm not the only one who has been told this. Of course, when I was being caught playing games during a lecture it was classics like Pimp Quest and Drug Wars on the TI-83.
Recently I broke out my dusty old calculator and took my favorite games for a spin. It made me yearn for those days when I could just tune the professor out and focus on my drug cartels. It also made me wonder if kids are still playing these things. I went looking on the Internet. Have you seen what's out there now?
Super Mario?!
Pokemon?
Just do a YouTube search for calculator games and see what else is out there! My, we've come a long way since text-based adventures featuring everyone's favorite professions. It's enough to make this guy feel old...
Do you still play games on your TI-83?

we always played games on our calculators. pimpquest, drug wars, blackjack, poker, and diablo. diablo was a text based rpg with a few simple graphics.
between me and a friend of mine, we made a lot of our own programs. Chapter 9, as you may imagine, would solve any problem from the ninth unit of our math textbook.
i'd like to get ahold of a TI-83 and see how well pokemon works on it.
