Ahh. . . the wonderful TI-99[0] Personal Computer.  I can't begin to
imagine how many hours I spent on that thing.  It had some absolutely
wonderful games, including (among many) Hunt the Wumpus, Parsec,
Slimoids, Alpiner, and the greatest of all, Tunnels of Doom[1]!

And it had a speech synthesizer!

It was also my first experience with BASIC.
