Car Wars 1981 Solid State SofwareTM Command Module

The software cartridges used on the TI 99/4A are called Solid State SoftwareTM Command Modules. Many of the most popular programs for the TI 99-/4A were distributed using these cartridges (for example Parsec, Car Wars, TI Invaders, Hunt the Wumpus, The Attack, Tombstone City, etc). Unlike floppy disks, however; Solid State SoftwareTM Command Modules lack the ability to save program information.
Solide State SoftwareTM Command Modules were snapped into place in the provided slot on the top, right-hand side of the TI-99/4A. They were meant to be inserted or removed only when power to the computer was off. Doing otherwise would often result in system instability or crashes.
Below find a fairly comprehensive list of Solid State SoftwareTM Command Modules which were produced for the TI-99/4A (if you are aware of any I missed, please let me know in the talk page of this article):
