My name is Clayton Grace. I am the creator of the site [1]. I was born in American Fork, Utah, USA, one town over from where I currently live. I live in Lehi, Uta, USA.
Sometime in the mid-1980s, my parents gave my family a TI-99/4A home computer system with a handful of games for Christmas. At first I don't think I was all that interested. All the cool kids living around me had Atari 2600s. Among the handful of games, however, were titles like Munchman, Parsec, TI Invaders, Chisholm Trail, and Hunt the Wumpus. Playing those games quickly helped me to realize that the Atari offering realy didn't offer anything. Not long after, mine was the home where the neighbors came to game. We continued to acquire other games. The ones we owned while I was a child include:
- A-MAZE-ING
- Addition and Subtraction 1
- Alligator Mix
- Alpiner
- Beginning Grammar
- Blasto
- BurgerTime
- Car Wars
- Centipede
- Chisholm Trail
- Defender
- Donkey Kong
- Early Learning Fun
- Facemaker
- Hopper
- Hunt the Wumpus
- Jawbreaker II
- Microsurgeon
- Munch Man
- Parsec
- Picnic Paranoia
- Super Demon Attack
- The Attack
- TI Invaders
- Tunnels of Doom
Out little TI-99/4A was the best system amongst all my friends up until one of them was able to get a Nintento NES. However, most of them still agreed even then that the TI held its own even against a purely gaming machine.
