This copy of MICROpendium has been in storage, in a binder (and has not been looked at) for some time. As a family we started out with the Texas Instruments Computer and our grown children loved all the educational modules as well as playing all the games, and our "library" was extensive. This newspaper/magazine, though old/used, is in very good condition other than the cover having arrived a little crinkled in the mail. It is and comes AS IS.

Please consider taking a moment to find more TI-99/4A items in our store. Watch for more TI-99/4A games, etc to come. I will continue to put issues of MICROpendium out in our store. Multiple copies can be combined in a Priority flat-rate envelope. 

This item comes from a smoke-free home.
