I kind of want it, but it's in Canada and it's local pickup only. :(

    That thing reminds me of the movie, "Tron." Man, it's been awhile since I've seen anything remotely like that.

    It didn't play pong but it did have a small collection of games for it.

    I heard Crytek did their first CryEngine test on a PET before trying it out on an IBM clone.

    Didn't they have both FM Towns and PC-FX support at one point? Pretty hardcore if you ask me.

    Welcome to the early 80s. Hard to believe but some of the games didn't even have graphics back then!

    Guess what, I had an Atari 2600, and any game there looked a billion times better. Those games look shitty for 1979. It's the worse version of Space Invaders I've ever seen.

    1977 actually.

    It is a very old computer, unfortunately.

    I know that, my point is that I'm comparing it to other old machines. :P
