How to Download Games on Your Calculator
Most people may think the only thing that can be done on a calculator is math, but there also are downloadable applications that allow you to play games on your calculator. The most common calculators that games can be uploaded onto are Texas Instrument (TI) calculators, which are a popular brand of graphing calculators. TI calculators come with a USB connector to plug into your computer so you can upload applications that you've downloaded from the Internet.
