If you never sat around in class playing Pokémon on your TI-84 Plus after you finished your math exam earlier than the rest, you have no idea what true power feels like.

I had a game I think was called "Gangsta" or something which was a text-based game where you sold drugs and had sex with hookers or something

I wasn't ti-84 plus rich. But I was palm pilot tungsten E rich, and played Pokemon and drug wars during class.

Back in the day we would type 58008 on our calculator and turn it upside down to satisfy our porn needs...

Wtf Pokémon? I thought I was hot shit with brick break and a couple other minor apps if I remember

Dramatic exaggeration I assume. But there was a Super Mario clone (at least on my TI Voyage 200).

Nope. It was a „fully functioning“ version of Pokémon. Not an emulated one, super simplistic and it ran like ass, obviously something tinkered together by a fan, but still a version of it. The TI-84 Plus CE even had the GB Color versions on them fully emulated.

Sadly the TI-84 Plus CE only became the standard right after we graduated.

Ah. That was one of my other apps for sure!
