GAME : Identify the computer!

[spudbynight]

Vic 20 or C64?

Looks like a Vic 20 alright

Good call on the VIC20. C64 had two joystick ports.

Cool thread! I've only recognised 3 so far.

It was the grey case that gave it away. Someone else can have my go.

Not a computer as such but an add on.
I don't think it ever got beyond prototype stage but it was years ahead of its time.

As this has been idle for a week with no good guesses on that one (waddisit??), I figured I'd post one.

Either the Sharp PC-1500 or the Tandy equivalent.

oh, disapponted

It was a Wafer Drive from Sinclair Research, basically they invented the SSD about twenty five years before it became a mass market item.

It only held around 0.5 Megabytes and was battery backed, but as a piece of technology it was groundbreaking.

Close enough. That one is the PC-1211. Mine is still operational with all original documentation. It was great during my tech school days in the Army.

Hello Overclockers....I want to play a little game. So far in your so called lives you have experienced many computers. But, can you go back in time and identify those machines you have forgotten?
Look at this image and identify the computer of yesteryear. Winner goes next.
Live or die - make your choice.

Haha! I like this, nice idea there OP
