When I was finishing school (around 1998) the TI-86 was the most popular 
calculator (I think our school got a special deal somehow and almost 
every math/science student bought one).  You could program it directly 
either in some BASIC-like language or assembler, or you could connect it 
up to a PC to download stuff.  I remember someone wrote/ported super 
mario for it, it took a while for the teachers to realise that people 
had games on their calculators!
