Okay, I have my TI-85 from the college days... practically unused, sitting in original box and complete. It's back to school time, and if anyone wants it, it's up for trade...
For reference, here is a recently completed ebay item (not mine):

For those who don't know, you can play games on it. I've got tetris, dr mario, space invaders, breakout, and a few others on mine. It is a great way to get a gaming fix in at work. People see you plugging away at your calculator and have no clue you're playing a game.

Yes. Just do a search on TI-86 and programs or games and you will find some links to walk you through it. One great site is:

You will need to pick up the serial to TI programing cable. I got mine a few years ago at Target.
Everytime I would plug away at my TI83 during trig class, people KNEW I was playing games. Maybe I just don't look like a worker, who knows?
Or maybe it was the constant cry of "Dammit" and "Oh shit, gonna lose again."

If only I'd known I could have played games on my TI-85 when I took College Algebra...
...if only I'd known.
