Calculator Games

[B-r-I-]

I just bought a new Texas Instrument TI-83 Plus, and i browsed through the internet looking for games. I downloaded a few, but where would i get a cable to transfer the games from my computer to my calculator? And how do you do it?

I have that same calculator, and the cord came with the calculator. Just find someone who has games and connect with them and transfer the files.

don't get too addicted.. it really drains the battery

Its not too bad, I play games on my ti-89 sometimes and I change the batteries prolyl 2 times a year.

Personally I CANNOT STAND the 83 or 86.. the whole interface to me is far inferior to the menu driven 89, but then again it costs more...

Graphing calculators, such the TI-83 and up (83+, 86, 89, 92, 92+) can have games loaded onto them. Most are written in an assembly language that the calculator can execute. You can also program "TI-Basic" and create functions/programs. The Ti-89 however comes reploaded with hundreds of functions, it basically does almost any math u can think of.

You can hook it up to your comp with one of these: http://www.electronicprods.com/cable3.htm
You can also connect 2 calculators together and transfer files that way
