RE: Paying tribute to the amazing efforts of ti89 and ti84 communities
The point is that tetris, pacman or the like are not emulated. Are ported to the calculator. And the work is quite well done.
I mean already writing an emulator is a lot of effort, but porting the game is even more amazing. Example: http://tict.ticalc.org/projects.html#ref_latest

And yes, as in every non so small open community you have a lot of half finished results. It is a matter of interest to pick the right one. Of course if one has no interest, it makes also no sense, if one wants to use the device, it makes sense.
It also helps not to check every possible program, but focusing oneself on few picks (to discover good versions of 3-4 popular programs it doesn't take much).

In the 1990 there was no largely developed internet with high speeds, so people were interested to try this or that as they had little alternatives.

Wikis are great, Contribute :)
