Re: A89: Low battery quirks




This happens to me also.  The one thing I like about the TI-89 that the other calcs seam to lack is
that it automatically adjusts the contrast of the screen based on battery life, so that you never
have to mess with it.

Playing Tetris was really funked up with low batteries.  The side of the screen was suddenly the
playing space, and it seamed as if the whole playing field was shifted to the left.  Nibbles was
also fun to watch.  The jerking of the snake made the game so unpridictable and hard.  They should
actually make a game like that- it would certainly be more difficult to complete all of the levels.
