'''Parsec''' is a TI-99/4A original video game created by [[Jim Dramis]] (programmer of [[Car Wars]] and [[Munch Man]]) and Paul Urbanus, who was a summer intern at the time. <ref>{{cite web|title=Xona Games: Rare Parsec Facts - TI-99/4A|url=http://xona.com/ti994a/parsec.html}}</ref> Parsec was release in the third quarter of 1982 and was published by Texas Instruments (TI), and was released on [[:Category:Solid State Software Command Module|Solid State Software^TM Command Module]]. The original price was $39.95(USD). Parsec is perhaps, the most known and loved video game made for the TI-99/4A. The TI ''[[Solid State Speech Synthesizer]]''^TM enhanced gameplay by adding alerts and warnings, but the game could be played without it.

Parsec can be played with or without the use of the TI [[Solid State Speech Synthesizer]]^TM. The speech synthesizer helps alert the player to upcoming waves of attacks. [[Jim Dramis]], the [[:category:software programmer|programmer]] of Parsec, chose a female's voice for the game because "It seems to have a sort of mystical effect. Also, somebody told us that you couldn't digitize female speech because of things like high-frequency patterns. So, we just had to go off and do it." <ref>{{cite web|title=TI-99/4A-Pedia: Jime Jim Dramis (See Interview from 99'er Magazine|url=http://ti.mysweetweb.com/index.php?title=Jim_Dramis}}</ref>
