En este video vamos a hacer un Unboxing de una computadora TI 99/4A, de Texas Instruments, fechada en Agosto de 1982. Vamos a recorrer que venia con la caja, que accesorios extra podriamos haber comprado, y como le hubieramos cargado software (o sea juegos), para disfrutar de nuestra computadora.

Day off…. play on :)

Let’s play some retro computer

I wanted to add visualizations to a few of my favorite Dj sets and mixes I've collected. I would like to thank 2001, WinAmp and MilkDrop studio for their huge contribution for this quick and dirty hack:

On my computer I opened WinAmp, cued a mix then started the MilkDrop studio visualization plug-in.

To shoot video of my desktop monitor I just used my cell phone. I have a DJI gimble which allowed for a stable recording. I decided to shoot a section of the screen playing the visualizations - it looked more interesting to me. The Milk Drop plug-in includes keyboard commands which I used mainly for soft and hard transitioning between the various presets. The video you see here has been edited down in time and exported with a lower resolution in order to have a file size that Tumblr could swallow. I did the all the editing on my phone in the waiting room at my doctor's office yesterday afternoon.

Tech has come a long way since my first TI994a computer back in the early 80's. What's really impressive is that WinAmp, Milk Drop Studios and a few other creators of audio/video software were so ahead of the times for a decade or longer. I used WinAmp regularly (Apple music sucks as did iTunes and fuck them) and remains my preferred means to organize and listen to my music library.

It That Once Beat The Masters

Participative talking machine, presented at the Science & Prophecy exhibition at White Columns, New York (1983).

The simulated holographic screen displayed a computer generated image, adapted from a New York Times newspaper picture, of the chess game between Garry Kasparov and Lajos Portisch in Niksic/YUG, Aug 28, 1983.

This was one of the reasons I bought my first computer, the Texas Instruments Ti99/4a.

That is the Peripheral Expansion Box, or PEB, and it included space for up to 8 internally mounted expansion cards, not just a floppy drive and power supply.

Here's a list of all of the TI-made cards you could install in it. Here's all of the 3rd party cards you could use. And here's a picture of the alternative to get that much expansion, which is quite... unwieldy:

Playing the game PARSEC in a real TI 99/4A computer.

I might talk in future videos, we will see.

Did you had a TI 99? Have you played Parsec?

Hey look, it’s the TI-99/4A. I’m told the Retronauts East Mini episode covering this system is going up about now, so here’s some more posts on the system, starting with my very own console from back in the day. This was pretty much the first major mostly-game-oriented hardware I owned, before eventually getting an NES.

It was an interesting system, with both cartridges and external storage ability, and the ability to write your own programs via a BASIC variant.

Also check out the earlier post I did of my game manual covers if you missed it.
