Games on a calculator, in my opinion, can serve no other purpose than to waste
time.  Of course, sometimes you can afford to waste time, but the main reason
people get calcs instead of gameboys is so they can play them in Math class.
I got my calc (82, and then the 92 when it came out) for math team, and the
only games I have are the ones I wrote.
