A Cup of Hot CoCo

Radio Shack designed a series of nice Christmas-themed computer advertisements over the years, but none charm quite like this simple 1982 ad for the TRS-80 Color Computer, with a snowy, festive scene geared toward parents buying Christmas presents for their children. And since the "CoCo" was Radio Shack's first home computer with color graphics, the company couldn't help but show it off with a color game--in this case, Mega-Bug (originally known as Dung Beetles). Despite its unpopular "Chiclet" keyboard, the CoCo proved a capable (albeit undersupported) low-cost machine for the time.
