The 83 it a revamped version of the 82, which has a few more functions.

The 82 has been replaced by the 83, programs for the 82 will remain for a
long time but the 83 will exceed the 82 because it is the newer, better
model.

If I were you I would only go for the two new models (83/86/92II) as
these are revised versions of the 82/85/92. I own a 83, it is very good
but limited on storage space. I wouldn't base my decision on the programs
available, if you want one enough write it yourself, it is that hard. To
decide between an 83/86/92II, work out what type of maths you will need
to do.
If you really want games get a GameBoy, they're heaps better.
