It is the first website dedicated to showcasing the generally unheralded efforts of talented game programmers for the TI-99/4A.  The site provides a gallery of interesting games with images of the opening screen as well as an in-play snapshot, along with a brief review tested on a real TI 99/4A system. Hardware requirements are also listed and download links provided.

OCT 2005:
  • Jim Uzzell dies on October 15th, leaving a software legacy that is envious in any community, and more than likely unmatched in the Myarc Geneve 9640 world. Doing business as DDI Software, he provided some of the best and probably the most Myarc Advanced BASIC products available for the Geneve computer. His efforts were good enough to earn Mr. Uzzell two Jim Peterson Memorial Achievement Award nominations, first in 1998 and then again in 2000, along with the affectionate title of “current world authority” on the Geneve’s Advanced BASIC.  Jim was also a former member of the Houston, TX User Group while DDI Software was headquartered in Austin, TX. and frequent contributor to MICROpendium magazine.Jim released his first Myarc Geneve products in 1989 with the announcement of Appointment Scheduler and Artist Utility. MYBASE followed in 1990 and then a seemingly continuous stream of Geneve products over the next 10 years, including CIA, DDI-DISM, DDI-ICON, DDI-WORD, GRABBER, MYARK, MYBANDIT, MYBASIC 4.0, MYBINGO, MYFX, MYGAMMON, MYGOLF, MYMENU2+, MYPLAN, MYPOKER, MYSAM, MYSTRIKE, MYSIDEPRINTer, MYWHEEL, MYAHTZEE.

  • Jacques Groislouis posts a response (message #38933) to the question of “What does MBP stand for as in MBP Clock Card” which points out research indicating that M refers to Jerry McClusky, B refers to William Byrne and P refers to their partnership.
  • Jaime Malilong, the designer of the TI99-CF Disk (Compact Flash Disk), authorizes the posting of his instructions on use of the card to Don O’Neil’s Western Horizon Technologies FTP site.
