Whaddya mean "FIRST GRAPHICS GAME ON THE TI-81!!!"???  I made lunar lander
on that little thing after owning it for about a week.  I might even still
have the source!  It was nice, too:  random terrain which gets more steep
as the levels progress, wind, limited fuel with a bar gauge across the top
of the screen, a detailed 1x1 pixel spacecraft graphic <grin>, and high
score keeping.  I'll see if I can find it, but I now own a HP48GX, so I can
do some REAL graphics programming now!  >:-) (flamebait?) ;)  I also had
a running alpha version of Double Dragon, with the characters being about
7x9 pixel stick figures and a scrolling background, but I ran out of memory
before it got finished (plus it ran at about 5 seconds per frame, with
about 2 seconds being used for the completely visible screen redraw!).
