Holy Moses — the calculator company made an arcade killer. 🕹️

TI Invader (1981) on the TI-99/4A — fast gameplay, wild sound, and pure Texas engineering.

That 16-bit TMS9900 CPU brought serious muscle to the home computer scene.

Real hardware. Zero emulation. Boom. 💥

👇 ABOUT THIS CHANNEL 👇

Hey, it's Tom from Texas, and here's why I do what I do— Floppy Deep Dive is all about real hardware, real nostalgia, and keeping the 8-bit magic alive. I make these videos for the folks who grew up on crackling CRTs, spent Saturdays swapping floppies, and still smile when the SID chip kicks in. This isn't about "who wins" or which frame is crispier—it's about reliving the era, having fun with these weird and wonderful games, and building a community that appreciates the quirks, the charm, and yes, even the "craptacular" moments of classic computing. If that's your vibe, you're in the right place. If not… there's always TikTok. Thanks for watching, supporting, and keeping the retro flame burning. BOOM!
