Did anyone ever play games on these? I definitely want to see the computer that looks like a set of books.

I actually had a gf in high school that used to play in one of those that somehow was still working properly in the 2000s, she had one. It wasn't one of the strange looking ones, but it was definitely from that generation.

That means, to them, that they are more secure. |

I can't imagine how slow they must feel by now. True, but there is something oh so satisfying that overcomes me with joy whenever I type with an old IBM XT keyboard. Nothing clicks like those old keyboards. |

I just started getting into Lazy Game Reviews. That guy's channel is awesome, even though I had no idea how to even turn a personal computer on until around 1997 or so.
But I knew this lady, she had a Tandy and boy was it a dandy.

LGR is one of the very few other channels I watch regularly besides CGR (the others are Super Bunnyhop and GameSack, and the Retro series on Digital Foundry). He also has a video for weird 90s computers, a lot of weird stuff there too.
