I used to love my TI-83 SE. I had like 40 games, 4 scientific programs, a calendar, and notepad, and even a spell checker That thing was worth every penny I paid for it. But now that I am in college, I really dont have much time to play during class anymore , but its great to have in calculus though. Here is a TI83, for those who never seen one:

Lemme tell ya something: I have the HP 49G calculator... you just dont buy it, cause it doesn't include any manual or anything. You will have to buy some books to learn how to properly use it

I think the Hewlett Packard graphing calculators are cheaper than the Texas Instruments one. I don't know why.

These TI-83's remind me of gameboys with all the games they have. For programs for these calculators go to ticalc.org. I actually have 2 TI-83's, 1 TI-86 and a TI-89. Very helpful in college :-)

The most amazing calculator that ive seen is the TI-92 plus. IT DOES 3D GRAPHING!!! That would come in handy when making 3d games, but nobody has one these days. Heres a list of games I'm working on:

* an RPG rloe playing game (no name, please help me out here.)
* a text adventure game
* an already made magic 8 ball game w/o graphics (working on the graphics part...)
*a virus that does not do anything but annoy the hell out of you
* and something that algebreicly solves equations (dumb math class...)

Once I get my hosting I will definatly make a section for that.

I found someone who made a final fantacy game for his calculator.
click here to download it.

That and on my site I'm working on something like cokemusic.

I always had the impression that the HP calculators are used more by professionals who need the calculator for "real life" stuff, like calculating phone line tension and crazy calculus stuff like that... and that TI calculators are more geared towards learning. That may be changing since HP came out with a calculator that actually steps through the solution of the problem symbolically - that's a pretty nice Ooooh factor
I have a TI 89, and have used in the past the 65, 86, and 92 at various times. All of those calculators were eventually passed to my siblings and I took my 89 to college.
The 89 is pretty much Maple in a PDA. Good stuff.

I am going to upload a picture for my sig, it looks awsome, and I made it on my claculator. colored it in paint, looks preaty cool.
I made a costume for holoween for it, cause I couldent find one for me in my attic. It's a program that draws a face on my calc. I think this is kind of becoming an obsession, but I still hang out with my friends. (they think what I'm doing is awsome, and want me to teach them how to program on a calc)
I'l upload it once I get out of school. TGIF!!!
