The TI 99/4A was awesome. I've been programming since I learned to write as a result of having access to that system.
I loved Parsec, a great defender ripoff that solidified my love of Shmups. My mom ruled at Munch man, and I swore in front of my parents for the first time while playing that game. Your man went invisible in the later levels, so you had to have a strategy memorized.
I've owned two of those systems. One I completely took apart just to see how it worked.
Does any one else remember saving their code on to a tape deck? There was a fairly good sized comunity of people that exchanged code using tapes back in the day as well.
I really wanted an Amiga back then but we got a 286 machine with a 42Mb hard drive and I was in heaven. We thought we got a steal, come on who could use that much storage space? Ah so funny to remember those days.
