In retrospect they're probably more of a "Mac Classic handheld", but to my young eyes, deep in the demoscene, it seemed like a portable Amiga in the way that a HP or Sharp palmtop was a full PC. The TI-89/92 series of calculators feature a Motorola 68000 CPU, and for reasons only younger me can remember, the design of the device felt more Amiga than Mac. The built in d-pad, different kinds of memory, and the integration of the system, it all screamed "GAMES" to me. The "exclusive" club of owners and passionate community of software authors for it also made me identify it more as an Amiga than a Mac. Some of the stuff people have made for it is mindblowing: - Arena 3d - https://ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/251/25178.html https://ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/251/25178.html - Calcwars - https://ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/291/29120.html https://ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/291/29120.html - CalcRogue - https://ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/260/26014.html https://ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/260/26014.html - CS3d - https://ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/336/33686.html https://ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/336/33686.html - Doom89 - https://ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/405/40593.html https://ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/405/40593.html - Duke 68k - https://ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/222/22258.html https://ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/222/22258.html - International Karate 68k - https://ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/327/32779.html https://ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/327/32779.html - Metroid 68k - https://ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/421/42175.html https://ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/421/42175.html - Phoenix - https://ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/82/8207.html https://ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/82/8207.html - Super Mario 68k - https://ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/400/40006.html https://ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/400/40006.html - Sumo Wrestling - https://ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/369/36964.html https://ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/369/36964.html - Ultima - https://ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/470/47009.html https://ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/470/47009.html
