Remember when 32K was enough space for an explorable world or galaxy rather than the size of your corporate email footer? We do so we created Classic Retro Tech to celebrate the home computer revolution and the variety of computing technology it spawned.
Computer models came in different colours, shapes and sizes. Some required assembly while others were ready to plug straight into your TV. Once it was set up, you switched it on and it was ready to go within a second.
What they had in common was the ease with which they could be programmed. Most home computers presented a simple command prompt which invited you to try things out. Many founders of today’s technology and video games companies can trace their roots back to these relatively simple home computer systems.
So join us in appreciating this unprecedented technological variety.
