A Retro PC Celebration for the Whole Family

Gather the kids round your Apple II and enjoy these nostalgic, vaguely unsettling vintage ads.

TRS-80 Model 4 (1983)

“The Great Leader told us to burn our computing paraphernalia.”

Commodore 64 (1983)

Kid of 1983: “This is what Saturn looks like. It has a mass of 5.6846×1026 KG!”

Kid of 2009: “This is what a LOLcat looks like! It eats its own #@$%!”

CBS Software (1984)

“Gather ’round the computer, kids. It’s time to read the instruction manual.”

“Yaaaaay!”

Edupro (1983)

Product photographers in the 1980s would have you contort your body in unpleasant ways to use a computer (note the monitor pointed away from the family). Luckily, this ad comes with a coupon for a free chiropractor visit.
