Oh, right in the nostalgia! I’d had a PC already, but this was my first 8bit micro. My first real programming was porting BASIC listings for other micros to work on it.

@sjvn I have a couple of those, but haven't needed them yet.

@pavel @sjvn Pretty much. Most of them also had modem type stuff integrated so it was a box you could stick somewhere and send 2 byte codes or similar to a remote station and get replies. Hence the sticker of codes on this one.

@sjvn @jcdvore I was there, too. The game was Pong.

@sjvn ahh, back when the spirit of man was tested with the ears of a rabbit.

@sjvn I remember them. Seems I always used a Butter knife for a screwdriver when landing the cables onto the tv.

@sjvn I miss those days! technology felt more genuinely democratic back then.
