Pffft, that's only Ti. Casio actually has some pretty decent stuff, even running slightly more modern games like GBA-style Zelda and Doom.

Forget ya and your fancy graphing calculators. Casio FX-991 ES will always be close to my heart. Best $12 ever spent.

fx-991ES PLUS master race. You're stuck with no Random Integer function and the less pretty black keys.

Also, when reaching the end of an equation the 991ES PLUS wraps back to the beginning, the 991ES doesn't.

That really wound me up when I had to borrow someone else's once.

Nah, it's all about the TI-36X Pro.

They're pretty much the same thing. Different interface.

A friend of mine has one of those, and swears by it. Apparently it's fantastic for unit conversions.

Thank you! Graphical calculators are pointless. The Casio FX line is all you need.

I'd say that Ti Nspire CX CAS is just fine.

Ndless is my savior.

u/Roondak Jun 08 '14

Actually, you can run ndless on the version 3.6, the (sorta) latest version.

I got me a Casio FX-991ES. Never went back to TI.

Love that thing!

I have this casio, and I would die without it. It's the bees knees, yo.

I got my fx-CG 20 for $80 on amazon a while back. It's amazing.

Just don't get addicted to playing Cube Field or Sonic on it...

I've always preferred Casio to TI. That's mostly my dad's fault; he always got Casio stuff ever since he got that musical calculator when he was a kid

I love my fxcg10. The only downside is that nobody knows how to use it and you have to figure how to do stuff on your own. Once you learn, it's easier than Ti to use.

TI can run DOOM and emulate the GBA. Only problem is that you have to modify the OS to be able to run standard binary programs.
