Works great between my TI-82 and TI-86.  There are a few problems with it.
The speed of the pieces is slightly faster than on the 86.  But the 86 can
drop them at about 1.5 times the rate the 82 can.  The response on the 82 is
much more sluggish than on the 86 (maybe because the 82 sucks?  :-).  The
blinking at game over and such messages is about half the speed as on the
86.  I doubt you can do anything about it because of the 82's display
driver, but just thought you might want to know.  Anyone on an 85 or 86 will
have a definite advantage over anyone on the 82 (92 as well, maybe 83).  Is
there a CrASH version on the way?

(I would have tested it on the 89 as well, but the person who ported it
WIHOUT PERMISSION botched it up badly and didn't inlcuded linkplay!)
