Did it really? That's sad. I got a TI-83 Plus when I was in 8th grade, beat Phoenix the 2nd day, so I never really wasted away hours beating it. I kept playing it, but it didn't affect my work or anything.

Same thing with the TI-89, though I beat Phoenix the day after I got it.

And I'm just giving up, I realized that I don't have much time to play on my calculator except when I'm at home, in which case I have a computer and whatnot.
