Darth Lego Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 I saw this MOC on Gizmodo and I thought it looked pretty good. The pictures of the Lego computer and the real computer are below. Did any of you guys/gals use this computer back when it came out? Link. Quote
Blackjack Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 It would have been better if they built it 4x bigger, but they did a good job with the small pieces. Quote
Arcanum777 Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 That takes me back to my youth for both reasons - Wizardry on the Apple II and Lego. It should have been actual size and functional. Now that would be something worth buying. The image even shows new fancy colour. When we started playing games on the original Apple, everything was green on a black background. Quote
Ed Mack Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Yep...That computer was the gaming machine back when. I can remember playing Castle Wolfentstein on it. Achtung!!!! Quote
comicblast Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Wow...we have a old Mac (10 years old?) at my house. I thought it was old until I say that. Lol, ignorance is bliss! Quote
TheOrcKing Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Man, do I remember having to use that computer. The MOC is rather nice and looks pretty good for the size. If it was more life size, my geeky mind would be blown away! The image even shows new fancy colour. When we started playing games on the original Apple, everything was green on a black background. What's wierd is most local auction houses I've been to still use that kind of monitor! Or computer even! Quote
chihuahualawyer Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Awesome! The oldest Mac's I remember are from the school library and that one is much older. When I was in 6th grade, Apple made their comeback with the huge iMac's available in red, tangerine, blue and green I think. Quote
Sue866 Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 We had one at home. To buy a computer like that for home use back then would cost $2,000+. Maybe more, I was pretty young, my parents bought me one. Oh, the memories. That's how I learned how to program, back when you had to type everything in. The games we had were very simple. LodeRunner! Oregon Trail! Adventure games by typing commands. Honestly, I wouldn't want to go back to that, hehe. The MOC is very cute, yeah, but I agree that it would be more impressive if it were to size. Quote
