hi,
I have been looking for games for my calculator a few days, but I can't find anything, because I haven't got any linkcable.
maybe u know a site with games or maybe u want to put it here (the games).
thanx

(sorry for the badly grammar, I'm dutch and not very good in english)

Your english is fine hanneke.

By the way, what calculator do you own?

However, without a linkcable your options are limited:
1) You can munually type in BASIC games onto your calc, but it takes a long time.
or
2) If your friend has the same calc, and they have games and programs, you can transfer them onto yours using the basic unit-unit link. This option enables you to get ASM games, and is much faster than manually typign the game in.

Basically, we just reccomed that you buy the link cable, if you look around online or at stores in your area, they can't be more than 20 US dollars, and thats for the 'high' end ones.

Yeah, either the 2nd options or invest $10 (no, it should be at most $15 but its prices had dropped from $20 a long time ago) into a cable because you'll use it for many other things besides games and it works with any calc model.

Or if the Wal-Mart deal is still going, you can get it for $14.85 or some odd number under $15, then send in the $15 rebate for a refund plus some. :D

Otherwise, even with sites and whatnot you can't do anything because you can't send them to your calc, unless you tell other people about the sites and get them to download them.

Edit
that's what i used to do until i got the computer cable.
and then i lost the calc-to-calc cable.
and then i lost my little brother's calc-to-calc cable.
so i went to countless stores looking for one.

turns out they didn't sell them.

so then i go to radio shack and ask about it.

they helped me fix together some other cables to create a new one.

and thus ends this pointless little story. But anyway, find people to loan you their cables. most will happily do so, usually in exchange for putting mario on their calcs.

I believe that ended more than a year ago, last February.
