That thing reminds me of a Commodore 64 I bought at a yard sale a long time ago. No idea what happened to it.....

When I was in 1st grade my school and a friend from school each had a TI-99/4A, so it was one of the earlier home computers I was interested in. My friend even had that Parsec game!

Search for documentation and look up the specs on the brick. It'll probably be something you can find at Radio Shack. One of my kids had one, but all of the add-ons were priced far too dearly, and he just wasn't that technically inclined.

This computer game is based on BrainTeaser by Wim Nijland (1993 year).
Choose digits from 1 to 9, split by reaction method into three groups (1-3-7-9, 2-4-6-8, and 5).
The goal is to display all digits except 5, without letting the field be cleared.

You might consider a tool called 'CS1er'.

It can produce .wav file output suitable for a 994A's cassette port.

I have confirmed that walmart Onn brand shoebox cassette recorders can work with a 4A.

Other people have had luck with portable MP3 players that can playback .wav files.

Thanks, will try porting the game to the Tomy Tutor. It doesn't have a floppy disc drive, just a cassette player and a cartridge slot.
