TI-85 Capabilities?



I dont read this group much (probably because I never really cared about
TI programming), anyhow, Im wondering just how powerfull the TI graphing
calculators really are.  From what Ive read on here, Ive learned about
Shells for TI calcs to make them more powerful and able to access the
calcs processor(?) directly.

Since the TI-85 has a Z80 processor, is it possible to have sega master
system games run on the TI? (sorry if that sounds dumb, but I dont
really know much about processors, electronics, and what-not)... The SMS
used the Z-80 processor.  I have no idea what all is needed to make a
machine run (do you only need processor and memory?)  Mabye some kind of
graphics adaptor is needed as well, in which the TI probably lacks.
Could someone explain what the TI 85 (or other TI calcs) is capable of
achieving?  Or if this is already explained in a FAQ, could you please
direct me?  Thanks.
