Too bad that at the time, TI actively discouraged third party developers from developing software for the TI-99/4(A) - they were selling the machines below production cost (because of the difficult market and the competition from cheaper mostly Commodore models) and hoped to recoup the losses by selling software (according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TI-99/4A#Lack_of_third-party_d...).
Yeah that was a big mistake.
