I have two working TI-99's (with speech synthesizer and external
cassette drive!), along with all the games from when I was a kid. ;-)

Among the games I know I have are:

Tunnels of Doom[0]
Parsec
Alpiner
TI Invaders
Donkey Kong
Fathom
Buck Rogers
Microsurgeon
Slymoids

I probably have at least a dozen or two others, too, but I'd have to
go look at them to remember what they are.

[0]:  A personal favorite, although I only had/have it on cassette
tape, so it was a huge pain in the ass to load.  It took 200 seconds
of screeching whine to load.
