You must reckon that it is pretty unfair to compare a small
"handheld" calculator to a "big" desktop computer...

Well, I am not a Fargo or a 3D game programmer, but I think it would
be quite impossible to make a playable Wolf3D for a TI-92. Even if
the CPU has enough power, even if the LCD display is fast enough. The
big problem is the "small" amount of memory: you must be quite brave
to put a single Wolf3D level, its routines, and everything "else" in
70kb of RAM.
But again, it would be a great game.Maybe with extra RAM...
