in high school,a buddy and I were making Link's Awakening for the ti-83😂 We didnt get very far, but the graphics were nearly identical. I think we mapped out the opening village, but lost interest due to the tedious nature of doing such a thing
There was a really nice RPG way back in the day, very well made in assembly with a foreground graphics layer. I hope whoever made that went on to a good career. I'm 99% sure it was Joltima, made for a few of the TI calcs.
I feel like at it's core, Doom is supposed to be snappy and well-controlled. We got Wolfenstein, which all things considered is "close enough," and we even got one with the "look at the enemies dance on your corpse" screen, which is neat. On a side note, TI-83 games don't get much better than Sokoban. It's hard to mess up sokoban - it's possible, but rare. You push a block in a spot, nothing needs animation.
Just an FYI, I got a bunch of games to work on Ti-83s, and also Ti-89s back in the day. ON the Ti-89, I had a 3d doom-like shooter that could handle continuous movement. For reference it was a single map, but you could face off with a single enemy (or a buddy with another calculator!) and there were grayscale textures too.
Same here, I Played through the first part of the game but couldn't beat the first boss because I didn't feel like switching the controls to strafe mode.
Oh hey, this is something that I'm somewhat of an expert on. While I never made any games, i certainly tried, and know way too much about the low level hardware of TI83+ and its variants as a result. A fun fact for you: these calculators used a standard (but rare) 2.5mm audio jack to both connect to the PC or another calculator. While you could easily plug in a pair of headphones or earbuds into this jack, the calculators do not have any audio circuitry. You can still "Play" music or sound effects though, but that requires the CPU to bit bang out a 1 bit signal on the IO port.
I got one of these TI calculators, and honestly, I am proud that I got one of these when I was in junior high as a Christmas present, I usually install games in my school library PC rather than at home to avoid my parents, so far till today, they never found out.
Yesss, that second doom I played on my ti84+ like 10 years ago in highschool, I also fondly remember playing a really cool portal game on it during boring classes lmao
In 90s NSW we got Casio calculators, they weren't free but they were heavily subsidised, once a year schools would send out order forms for them, you could get a model that had a $300 retail price for $80, now schools "require" students to have iPads, but they aren't subsidised at all.
As someone who went through high school in the late 2010s, we have not advanced all too much, the ti-83 would probably get you through just fine, I had a colourless ti-84 and they seem nearly identical though a couple friends had coloured ones
My favorite Ti-83 Plus game was called Phoenix I think? It was a bullet hell/shoot em up type game, and I remember it actually being pretty fast paced and fun.
I started high school in 1998 and I still have my (pre-Plus) TI-83. The only proper games I ever had for it were Breakout, Snake, and Tetris. Maybe I should buy a pack of AAA's and one of those USB cables...
when the screen got darker think you might have engaged the shortcut to adjust contrast whenever you are using the calculator. while youre holding 2nd press up over and over or press down over and over. in the main screen itll say the number setting in the top left
- I finished Doom yesterday! The graphics, the monsters-amazing! - Yeah, Doom is awesome, especially level eight, where you have to take down two Barons of Hell. - Wait… what? My dad’s calculator didn’t have that…
i remember seeing a kid playing mario on his calc in high school... i asked him how he did it.. and he laughed at me like i was some pleb.. even tho i was already building my own computers.. now i can rub it in his face that i know how
The the early 2010's in high school I played Pokemon Topaz (yellow clone), Mario Land, Fruit Ninja, and a very broken 2d Minecraft/terraria clone on my TI-84
"When I was in high school in the early 2000's this is what they gave us whenever we needed to do some graphing work on a calculator" They had those at school? Here in America we all had to bring our own! $130 each! Ridiculous!
i have a challenge, something i did myself with the few consoles/appliances that i own. Try to get A version of doom running on every electronic thingy in you collection, although considering the size of you collection it might be logistically impossible for one James.
There's a pretty solid straight port for the TI-Nspire line, of course youre still playing on a calculator but yeah since the NSpire was an actually newish machine in 2010 it's just barely strong enough to play actual Doom
The way these play makes me wonder if there's an SMT-esque turn based dungeon crawler. That could actually work somewhat decently since it wouldn't just be mashing shoot.
They GAVE you those calculators?? We had to buy ours here in 'Murica...although that DID mean we could do whatever we wanted with them at home! You bet I had this, a Space Invaders knock-off, and some kind of Super Mario Land thing...as well as a little push-button program that displayed a fake graphing result for look-busy-in-class purposes!
yep HS from 2000-2005. think I played a game called Falldown the most. Everyone played a drug dealer sim or something? Like Weed Dealer or some text adventure thing with drugs.
i would recommend getting a ti nspire cx or cx ii for more games, there’s a ton of emulators (they even made a psx one) available for it and it can even run actual doom and quake
hey james, you should try out fruit ninja, the controls are surprisingly good. i dont remember if its only for the t84 or both but i highly recommend it
ok some were actually cool, some were quite basic. i think the "perdu" language is french, and it was quite funny to hear how you read it XD all the developers did an awesome job tho.
If you had a 84 plus silver edition you can actually game. Originally it just had fan remakes but later there was a gb emulator which mario worked pretty well on.
okay, being French, the way you read all the text of that French speaking one got me in tears. your delivery on “perdu” had me cackle for ten minutes
Breaking news: Local man cant speak gibberish made into a language
The thing that get me in tears is that half of the game texts are in english.

It's not, if you actually play Doom.
Doom, Tetris and Pac-Man in some cases are benchmark games for things that aren’t supposed to run games.

I did some research and Joltima 2 for the Gameboy Color got renamed to Infinity (ungooglable generic name) and there was a Kickstarter for it.
If it has a simple screen and any kind of controls, it’s Doom compatible!

Probably better fitting for the channel: Several of the TI calculators can be opened up and modded. Heat sinks, overclocking, etc
Turns out if you watercool your TI83 it *can* divide by zero!
I thought I remembered him opening up and modding a TI83 in one of his early videos. I think it's the one I found him through.

Well it answers the age old question of "but can it run doom?" quite nicely.
james might be the only person i have ever seen ask "why are there so many enemies" while playing doom
Very chirpy kitty at the end this time!
Hey, James - have you ever played the WipEout games? I think you'd enjoy a side-by-side-by-side comparison.
Yesss, that second doom I played on my ti84+ like 10 years ago in highschool, I also fondly remember playing a really cool portal game on it during boring classes lmao
I remember when me and my friends played Pokémon on our calculators during maths class. It was awesome.
In 90s NSW we got Casio calculators, they weren't free but they were heavily subsidised, once a year schools would send out order forms for them, you could get a model that had a $300 retail price for $80, now schools "require" students to have iPads, but they aren't subsidised at all.
9:05 it doesn't look like Doom at all - the textures of the weapon and enemies look like they are from Wolfenstein 3d
As someone who went through high school in the late 2010s, we have not advanced all too much, the ti-83 would probably get you through just fine, I had a colourless ti-84 and they seem nearly identical though a couple friends had coloured ones
God i love learning stuff through these videos
This is my favorite channel. I wish James was real.
I wish you were real too ❤️
That second one was even more ' actually Wolf 3D' than usual
This isnt what i had in mind when they called the new game "The Dark Ages" but I'll take it
What they really meant was the black and white ages.
Yo there was actual realtime DOOM for the 83? Woah.
I was waiting for this video the second I saw the last calculator gaming video XD
I also somehow knew it worked
i love that zdoom for a t83 runs better than most modern games on my 2080ti
My favorite Ti-83 Plus game was called Phoenix I think? It was a bullet hell/shoot em up type game, and I remember it actually being pretty fast paced and fun.
This was my favorite one. Lots of math classes wasted on Phoenix. I wonder if my old TI83 still has my friends' high scores on it...
Phoenix was so good I wish it was on other consoles or something ha
When I want, you post that exact thing a day later. Great delivery time!
Try and run Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong’s Double Trouble on a calculator please (and my birthdays next month).

- Wait… what? My dad’s calculator didn’t have that…
As always James, you're a treasure. M cats say hello
The second doom you played made me think of Mysterium on the Gameboy.
0:08 they gave us pen and paper. We used to play battleship in class.
He pulled out the classic :D
I was just playing Doom on my calculator today, you know too much
That first one is kinda cute. It just looks like someone's idea of doing "3D" graphics that didn't amount to anything past that demo.
The ti-nspire version of Doom is literally just a full color port of the original game with nearly no missing features (except for sound)
the TI 84+ CE as well as it's competitor, the Casio FX CG 50 also have fully cromulent Doom Ports
You should try the Bubble Bobble port to the TI-83. I remember it being really good.
