1984 TV Show about Computer Games

[Homer J Simpson]

Interesting to watch. 30 years ago.

They look just as boring as they did 30 years ago!

As a kid with only public access television, I used to blindly search for The Computer Chronicles every weekend in hopes of finding an episode on PBS.  So was my lust for anything technology related.

Gary looks like the singer of Queens of the Stone Age.

Is this the Gary Kildall from the CPM fame? The guy that took a day off and missed the opportunity to be the richest man in the US?

My first computer run CPM. It was an homebrew 64KB Z80 machine with 8" floppy, home made generic PCB with wire wrap interconnect and a keyboard that I build from individual reed magnet keys.

Here's a classic 80's computer/hacking TV show - anyone remember this great show?  Enjoy!

I didn't think I'd ever seen it, but damn if the theme tune and title sequence certainly ring a bell.

I still have optical mark cards in a box (aka punch cards although not really punch cards). Haven't watched a computer show in 25 years.

That show was pretty common in the 80's through the 90's. There's a ton of old episodes on youtube.

Yes, the very same.

I have a box in one of my closets marked "Atari 2600 and games" that hasn't been opened in almost 20 years. I'm pretty sure there's a copy of that Space Shuttle game inside.
