What games did you guys have?

I had this crazy farm simulation game. Spend your money on chickens and corn and such and try to pay off your loan. Sounds incredibly boring now, but I loved it back then.

There is currently no cure for high school stats and calculus.

Youngsters. I remember changing the 9-volt battery in my calculator and zipping it in its carrying case and plugging it in at home (that is, once I got a calculator to use). The only game I knew how to play was spelling words upside down like "55378008".

not graphing calculator, but before interent was installed on computers in PC labs there was a little game called Mathville I think, you would solve math problems to make money and become mayor, wow, that really does sound nerdy doesn't it?

I didn't have a ton (my friends all had 86s, and I had an 83... hard to get games from them ), but I remember one called D-star or something like that? It was a kind of maze game...

And frogger, of course.

I was a big fan of tetris, snake, and pong.

Drug wars & Tetris. Nothing more.

Block dude, excite bike, and I used to have drug wars too.

It all got too boring and I actually started using the graphing calculator to draw patterns with random functions I could think of.
