Oh man, brings back memories of my life on the TI-8x series calculators in the mid/late-90s.

In short, they are small computers so that they can process the intended purpose of graphing math stuff. But some smart people figured out how to use the underlying technology and programming language to make games.

It’s not that much different than your iPhone/Android device…it can do math stuff, but it can also play games. The calculators are just significantly more rudimentary.
