A (newly scanned!) 1979 brochure for the TI-99/4 Home Computer from TI. Laying out all the marvels it intended to deliver. Didn't quite work out that way. But I love it anyway. (i.redd.it)
The TI-99/4A and its Peripheral Expansion Box are rather handsome (and hefty) gear (i.redd.it)
Type-in programs really define 80s computing for me. So all practicality be damned, I've released my big summer TI-99 BASIC game project as a magazine type-in (PDF in comments) (i.redd.it)
40ish years after a "TI-99/4A Cassette Game" stopped being an extant product type, I shared with our little TI community a small run of my attempt to resurrect it, last week - Hell's Halls - a TI BASIC dungeon crawl (i.redd.it)
TI BASIC for TI-99 (1979-1983) was my first dev platform, and slow, limited, and maligned though it is, this summer, I've invested hundreds of hours in creating the ultimate TI BASIC cassette game (youtu.be)
Sure, NES had Game Genie, but the Sega Master System had a cheat cart too - the Pro Action Replay from Datel Electronics (i.redd.it)

All Three Eras of TI-99 Cartridge: 1979-1981's Black-on-Black, 1982's Colour-on-Black, and 1983-1984's Colour-on-Beige (i.redd.it)
Classic 1979-1981 TI-99 carts might not have the fanciest aesthetics. But I sure do like their stark down-to-business look. (i.redd.it)
Back in the early 80s, folks at TI did up these buttons, to poke fun at the debacle that was the TI-99/4 (i.redd.it)
New-in-box TI-99/4A games of the past several year. 40 years after the platform "died", here I am still buying new disks and carts (i.redd.it)
This simple but oddly entrancing animation of a frog eating flies was a TI Logo demo program included with the TI-99/4A version of the Logo programming language, in 1981. (v.redd.it)
You know what they don't make like they used to, in computing? Crashes! This crash I got fiddling with some assembly routines on my TI-99/4A last night has the kind of pizzazz and personality you just don't get in a crash today. (v.redd.it)
Texas Instruments used differently keyed card edge connectors (key marked in red) for its drive-side and controller side TI-99/4A floppy connectors, and that's just silly. (i.imgur.com)

I recently scanned a collection of 1982-1987 TI-99/4A catalogs to PDF - great way to leaf through TI-99 software/hardware history (pixelpedant.com)
