    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.

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

          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.
